Union Minister Hegde, Cong chief Dinesh Gundu Rao in Twitter war

Bengaluru, Jan 28 (IANS): Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde and Congress president Dinesh Gundu Rao were on Monday locked in a Twitter war over their respective achievements and contributions.

Responding to Hegde's tweet that he knew Rao as "a guy who ran behind a Muslim lady", the latter retorted that it was sad to see the Central minister stoop to such "low levels as to bring in personal issues".

Gundu Rao, a Congress lawmaker from Gandhinagar assembly segment in Bengaluru central, is married to Tabu Rao.

"Sad to see @AnantKumarH stoop to such low levels as to bring in personal issues. Guess it's his lack of culture. Guess he hasn't learnt from our Hindu scriptures. Time hasn't run out, he can still try and become a more dignified human," Rao tweeted.

When Rao questioned Hegde in another tweet asking what his achievements and contributions were after becoming Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship or as MP from Uttara Kannada district, Hedge in turn questioned Rao's contributions.

"I shall definitely answer this guyA@dineshgrao's queries, before which could he please reveal himself as to who he is along with his achievements? I only know him as a guy who ran behind a Muslim lady," Hegde had said.

The heated Twitter exchange began after Hegde during his speech in the southern state's Kodagu district remarked that "any hand that touches a Hindu girl should not exist".

"We should be aware of what is happening around us. Regardless of caste and religion, any hand that touches a Hindu girl should not exist," the Union Minister had said.

Rao's criticism of the remarks soon snowballed into a Twitter war between the two leaders.

Meanwhile, Rao's wife Tabu, in a statement said it was "misogynistic" of a Union Minister to target her.

"It appears I am a soft target for BJP leaders who are unable to take on my husband, Dinesh Gundu Rao...I am a private person, a mother of two girls and a devout housewife. I do not hold any party or public position," she said.

She was born a Muslim but is a "proud Indian" first, Tabu said.

"I have never made any personal remarks against any BJP leader and I strongly resent them using me as a pawn in their cheap politics," she added.

    Any Union Minister should exercise restraint while speaking in public.
    The standard should not stoop.
    You are for all people when you are an Union Minister.

    "Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low caliber and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed.” This is what Winston Churchill had predicted several decades back. People like Hegde have proved him right.

    Sad to see Union Minister Hegde stoop to such low levels as to bring in personal issues.
    Guess it’s his lack of culture. Guess he hasn’t learned from our Hindu scriptures.
    Ananthkumar Hegde has no abyss. He just keeps discovering new lows each time. And BJP not acting on him is a msg that they endorse him and his brand of vulgarism. Hinduism never taught us to spread communal hatred or to promote violence in society. The essence of Hindutva strongly believes in promoting kindness, love & humanity. But people like Anantkumar & his idiotic words are badly projecting the values of Hinduism.
    AnanthKumarHegde is a clear cut influence of YogiAdityanath. He thinks If Bjp wins in Karnataka, this is his only way to get CM post. Pretty sure.. his views on constitution & Dalits & Muslims have already caught the attention of Amit Shah & Modiji.

    Vasu & Shetty,

    Do you both know that Modi hid the fact that he was married ? He functioned as a bachelor during all the years he was the CM of Gujarat ?

    When he has not regard/existence about his wife, how do you feel embarrassed when a mention is made to her ? Nobody disrespected Jasodaben - instead, because of the public outcry, her name was mentioned when he filed nomination for his election seat for his central political step - else she would have been remain a living ghost - do you guys know this ?

    A man aspiring to be a PM in 2014 - how can this be expected of him ?
