Madikeri, Feb 27: Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Anant Kumar Hegde, who is known for communally provocative and anti-Muslim rants, on Monday lost his cool when a Muslim girl objected to his politically motivated speech during an interaction with students.

The event was organized by the Ministry of Skill Development, in Madikeri. Rameeza, a college student, stood up and said: "You state that you do not deliver political speeches where students are gathered. Is your entire speech not politically motivated?"

Taken aback by the unexpected question, the BJP leader said: "There is an argument and a counter argument in Society. When one speaks against an argument, it leads to a controversy, which, in turn looks beautiful at the outset."

When the BJP leaders and activists present in the event clapped and whistled at Hegde's reaction, the student replied, "One should understand the purpose of the programme. There is no need to answer those wearing spectacles."

The minister said in a louder voice, "I will start speaking on politics now. The BJP government has introduced several projects. The UPA government did not have any vision or capacity. A total of 1,500 students have registered with the Swayam portal, which is the BJP's contribution."

"During the Congress regime, soldiers were not given drinking water by the government. After the Modi government came to power, pipeline has been laid to supply water to the soldiers on the border. We do not know backdoor politics," Hegde continued.
