Mangaluru, Jan 22: Dismissing the rumours about his visit to a rowdy’s home during poll campaign in his constituency as baseless and false, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader has said that he never ever visited any rowdy’s home so far and would never stoop to such a low level in future too.
Speaking at a programme here on Sunday, Mr Khader, who had earlier preferred to ignore the mudslinging, said that he would retire from politics if the allegations of his association with any rowdy are proved to be true.
“My personal and political life is an open book. People of my constituency know me very well. They have always blessed me and supported me. It’s my duty to serve them. There is no necessity for me to make friendship with any rowdy,” he clarified.
A few Kannada TV channels and newspapers had recently claimed that Target Gang leader Eliyas who was hacked to death by rival gang members last week, was a in touch with Mr Khader.
Some media went on to claim that Eliyas’ wife Farzana had stated that Mr Khader used to visit their house and hang out with her husband during election campaign.
"Just because Eliyas was seen in a picture having lunch in a wedding party where I was also present, it does not mean that I was close to him. I cannot ask somebody to go away when they come and have lunch sitting next to me in a third person’s wedding party. But if you prove that I visited a rowdy’s house I will immediately retire from politics,” he said.

He is not fit for politics. He is best for acting good samaritan
Good people will get blame and critisism always
UTK should resign.
I request Khader bhai to retire from politics and spend time with his noble family. The people of Ullal really don’t deserve such a great leader. For them pett kammis are enough. Being a fan I really cant bear people making false allegations against a jewel like Mr Khader
Farzana did not give any statement to media. She is in iddah. One munafiq BJP leader made a fake letter viral in her name for political benefits. Communal media seized the opportunity to tarnish Khader’s image.
Dear Khader bhai. This is a good lesson for you. Now onwards please stop attending weddings and goodangadi opening ceremonies. I know you want to be down do earth. But some jealous people want to put u down to earth. So always be careful. Especially avoid some Bearys.
Here in our city only BJP leaders in rowdy sheet and category. So if you visited any BJP leaders or standing mp house then please tell.
Nothing to do our point any of our youths. They are the main epicenter for rowdisim. On thier sponsorship our
youngsters are spoiled.
