‘Ananth Kumar Hegde is unfit to be even a GP member’
While responding to a query on Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde’s comments that “The hand that touches a Hindu woman must not exist”, M B Patil opined that Ananth Kumar is not fit for being even a Gram Panchayat member. “As the Lok Sabha election is nearing, he is passing some irresponsible comments in order to secure the votes. We can’t expect more from those who are trying to change our Constitution, even though they are in power only because of the same constitution”, he said.
‘Coalition government would complete its full term’
Regarding Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy’s statement that he is ready to step down from the CM’s post, Patil said that the coalition government would complete its full term of five years. “Though there are some misunderstandings between both parties, it will be rectified by the high commands of both parties”, he said.
He denied commenting on the issue of Siddaramaiah’s “rude behaviour” in Mysuru claiming that he doesn’t know anything about it.
He commended the Mangaluru police for their initiatives to curb down drug menace. He also asked the police to take stringent action against the drug peddlers as they are targeting students and younger generation as their customers.
Meanwhile, Dakshina Kannada District Working Journalists Union President Srinivas Nayak Indaje handed over a report of the ‘Gram Vasthavya’ done by the journalists and other programmes as part of their project ‘Brand Mangaluru.’ Patil lauded the efforts of journalists’ union and opined that Mangaluru was now turning into a safe area.
