Nailed down by Muslim girl, Anant Kumar Hegde loses cool, starts speaking politics

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.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.
