Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side.

There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.

For Sure.... He will regret for his Word
all bjp team is made up of such psychos
Nothing strange. BJP is made of such people mostly. Talking against Islam and Muslims is their main weapon to garner votes. Kindly do not retaliate. Islam is best by spreading love and peace. The best attitude of yours can attract others.
dear readers, i dont know why the media is highlighting as 8 interesting facts? STRANGE! For sure, It will definitely hurt Muslims emotions if someone speaks the way he spoke last year against Islam. But his big mouth wont make any difference to us and Muslims need not to react upon. In politics such things are common, he want to gain something, so he choose the best weapon to attract sanghi family is nothing other than blemishing Islam. We pray almighty Allah to give guidance to such people or perish them from this world, Aameen.
