Name sake muslim candidates are bribed by anti social and antial religious party only to divide votes of Muslims and make gain to particular communaal party. Shame on these muslim candidates. they are stabbing their own people for the sake of position and money. I think they have no fear of Almighty God. Money and power is their God. Shame on you. You are supporting Iblees. Why dont you join them and accept their belief. Dont try to be MIr Qasim and Mir Jafar who betrayer Indians and collaborated swith British. I request all the Votes not to cast a single vote to these Muslims candidates who are supporting communaal party. MEP is a branch of BJP and nothing else. MEP leader has close relation with BJP leaders. BJP is forecasting her as a Goddess who is distributing cash to poors only to fool them. She is spreading Fitna of Dajjal and we should be careful about it.

I really appreciate SDPIs stand for withdrwing the all nomination...

See the stupidity of Muslims candidates....... How many candidates are in field? Just to devide votes.

Shame on you......

But Muslim voters should not fall prey to this.... determine who is winning candidates and vote. Don't go for cast policy......

Hedge owns his remarks against Gandhi, then says he didn’t say anything against Gandhi

News Network

February 4,2020

New Delhi, Feb 4: "I own my statement," said BJP lawmaker Anant kumar Hedge on Tuesday amid the raging controversy over his remark on Mahatma Gandhi while adding that he has never said anything against the Father of the Nation.

"All related media reports are false. I never said what is being debated over. It is an unnecessary controversy. I own my statement made on February 1, 2020, in Bengaluru. I never made any reference to any political party or Mahatma Gandhi or anybody else, I was just trying to categorise freedom struggle. That's all," Hedge told news agency.

"I am surprised by the discussion around it. What can I say about something that is not there? There is hullabaloo going on without anything. My statement is available in public forum. If anyone wants to see, it is available online and on my website. Show me if I have said anything against Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru and any other freedom fighters," he added.

The BJP leader continued: "That programme was about Savarkar. With due respect of all our freedom fighters, I was just discussing our freedom struggle, there is no confusion or any derogatory comment on freedom struggle or fighters. Unnecessary nuisance has been created."

Hedge stoked a controversy after he had attacked Mahatma Gandhi by calling the freedom struggle led by him a "drama" and also questioned as to how "such people" come to be called 'Mahatma' in India.

"None of these so-called leaders was beaten up by the cops even once. Their independence movement was a big drama. It was staged by these leaders with the approval of the British. It was not a genuine fight. It was an adjustment freedom struggle," he had said.

While several Congress leaders have condemned his remark on the father of the nation, BJP leaders too has distanced themselves from it.

Top leadership in BJP is unhappy with Anantkumar Hegde over his controversial remark on Mahatma Gandhi, party sources had said on Monday, adding that he has been asked to issue an unconditional apology.
