Belagavi, Mar 4: “Tense situation prevails between India and Pakistan. During this time, the citizens of the country are worried about the safety of the nation as well as that of the soldiers. However, former CM B S Yeddyurappa is worried only about the Lok Sabha seats,” ridiculed minister for urban development U T Khader.
Khader spoke to the media after inaugurating Natha Pai Park in the city, which was built under the Smart city project.
Khader further said, “When it comes to the nation and soldiers, all the political parties have to be one. Instead of playing politics, they should send the message of unity to the universe.”
Reacting to the issue of Yeddyurappa’s statement of BJP winning 22 seats due to the air strike on Pakistan, Khader said, “We all should be united when it comes to the armed forces and security of the country. No one should play politics over the air attack and surgical strikes. Certain individuals, who are holding responsible positions, are themselves doing this. This puts a blot on all the politicians. When all are worried about the country and soldiers, Yeddyurappa is worried about the Lok Sabha seats that will be won by BJP.”
“When the son of the then chief minister of Maharashtra and director went to picturise the Mumbai attacks, the chief minister was replaced. Let the BJP high command show what action it is going to take on B S Yeddyurappa, who has given public statement playing with the sentiments of the soldiers,” questioned Khader.
When asked about the video of fighting between MLAs Kampli Ganesh and Anand Singh, Khader said, “It is not possible to believe that a fight has ensued between the two over the issue of a woman. This fight has occurred due to personal issues. I am not aware that a fight has taken place between the two over the matter of a woman. I have neither seen nor heard of it. Both Ganesh and Anand are like siblings. The fight has taken place on a bad moment. Legal action will be taken on the erring person. I am confident that everything will go alright in the future.”
