Karwar: BJP Member of Parliament and former Union Minister, Anantkumar Hegde, on Tuesday, threw down the gauntlet to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, challenging him to engage in an open debate on the topic of decency.
Hegde had stirred a controversy by addressing Siddaramaiah as ‘Magane’ (son) while criticizing him for issuing statements in connection with Ayodhya’s Ram temple.
Defending his derogatory statement against Siddaramaiah, Hegde stated, let Chief Minister Siddaramaiah come for a face to face open public debate on matters of decency and culture.
“It is natural that the leaders of the party won’t support my statement and my remarks were personal. In matters of decency, CM Siddaramaiah should engage with me in an open debate and people should watch it,” he stated.
“When was the last time he spoke with decency? He has spoken indecently against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa. CM Siddaramaiah has also spoken in an unacceptable manner against temples and Hindutva. The Congress leaders have crossed the limits of decency and culture while making comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” the BJP MP stated.
