Sannathammaiah, a Dalit at Marle village, played host to the BJP heavyweight and his entourage of MP and MLAs, serving them akki rotti, palya, chutney and upma.

Lakshmi, the elated wife of Sannathammaiah, said, “It’s a matter of joy that Yeddyurappa has come to our house. I had prepared akki rotti and uppittu (local parlance for upma) for him.”

Yeddyurappa, who was accompanied by MLC Pranesh and MLAs C T Ravi and D N Jeevaraj during the time, also visited Kencharaya Temple.

He enquired a senior citizen Mahalingamma about the old age pension. Addressing a gathering during the Janasamparka Abhiyhan at the village, he said, “The opposition parties indulge in negative publicity against the BJP leaders dining at Dalits’ houses. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah though has completed four years in office, has not even called on the Dalits to enquire about their travails even for once. Similar is the attitude of ministers who don’t have time for marginalised community.

Yeddyurappa also alleged that the state government has dropped Bhagyalakshmi Scheme launched by previous BJP government.

Continuing his tirade against the Congress party, Yeddyurappa said that while the Congress has ignored the ideals espoused by Dr B R Ambedkar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi succeeded in invoking Ambekdar’s principles at Lok Sabha. The Centre has also taken measures to identify and develop five places associated with the Dalit icon as a pilgrimage centre, the former chief minister said.

Highlighting the recent decision of the governments at Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra to waive farmer loans, Yeddyurappa said Siddaramaiah intentionally did not follow the suit, and instead pointed at the Centre to make a move.

Many think that they may not be affected by the CAA, NRC or NPR and keep away from protesting against it. The congress should fight against the CAA concentrating on three approaches. We cannot fight against divisive politics by fighting only against the CAA and NRC. We need to expose the government’s failures, their divisive politics and continue our protests against the CAA, NCR and NPR.”

Kalaburagi, Feb 20: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Waris Pathan on Wednesday said that 15 crore Muslims can dominate 100 crore Hindus.

"The time has now come for us to unite and achieve freedom. Remember we are 15 crore but can dominate over 100 crores," said Pathan while addressing an anti-CAA rally here.

"They tell us that we have kept our women in the front - only the lionesses have come out and you are already sweating. You can understand what would happen if all of us come together," he said.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Protests have erupted across the country against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the National Population Register (NPR).
