Hubballi: With the rise in political pressure on the state police, the cops were showing their helplessness and for this reason Neha Hiremath murder case must be referred to the Central Bureau of Investigation, said former chief minister and Gadag-Haveri Lok Sabha constituency BJP candidate Basavaraj Bommai.
Talking to reporters here on Tuesday after performing special puja at Anjaneya temple on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, he said Niranjan Hiremath, the victim’s father, didn’t have faith in the state police. Hence, the incident must be handed over to the CBI. There was no law and order in the state and the police stations have become the settlement centres. The politicians were influencing the police because of which the latter has become helpless.
Reacting to the Minister Santosh Lad’s statement that the BJP wasn’t happy without the murder of Hindus, Bommai said Neha Hiremath must not be restricted to any caste or religion. The Congress party failed to give protection to its councillors and an young girl had been brutally murdered. The Congress party politicised everything.
On K.P. Nanjundi quitting BJP, the former CM contends that it would not impact the party. Nanjundi had come from the Congress party.
