Mangaluru, Feb 20: Hours after calling UB City assault victim a ‘BJP worker’, the saffron party supremo Amit Shah on Tuesday candidly admitted that his statement was far from the truth.

Shah, who is touring coastal Karnataka as part of BJP’s campaign for upcoming Karnataka assembly polls, earlier in the day had referred to Vidwath, who was thrashed by Shantinagar Congress MLA NA Haris’ son Mohammed Nalapad and others at Farzi Café in Bengaluru’s UB City over a trivial issue, as a ‘BJP worker’.

Shah’s statement had embarrassed Karnataka BJP as the family members of Vidwath made it clear that he was not part of any political outfit.

Replying to the queries of media persons at Surathkal, on the outskirts of the city, Amit Shah admitted that his statement was wrong. “What I said is wrong. He is not a BJP worker,” Shah said.

However, he maintained that chief minister Siddaramaiah-led Congress government was selectively targeting BJP workers in Karnataka.

According to sources, union minister DV Sadananda Gowda, who was present with the party chief, reportedly advised the latter to withdraw his statement to avert a potential controversy.
