JOIN USFB war: Reddy hits out at Hegde for calling him 'useless' home minister
Home Minister R Ramalinga Reddy on Friday hit back harshly at BJP leader and Union Minister Anantkumar Hegde for terming him "useless" on
his Facebook page.
In his reply, Reddy stated that Hegde is "unfit to even become an MP leave alone a minister." Further, Reddy states that those who disrupt peace in society are terrorists and that Hegde should learn to live and behave like a human being.
He stated: "poison-minded" people like Hegde make a living on the hardship of people and even by politicising death. Reddy says Hegde is following the direction of (BJP chief) Amit Shah. "It is the responsibility of the government to protect the people and will continue to do so."
Hegde in his Facebook post blamed Reddy and Advisor to Home Minister Kempaiah for misleading Chief Minister Siddaramaiah with regard to handling the recent situation in Sirsi. The town was marred by violence following the death of a Hindu activist Paresh Mesta in Honnavar. Hegde points out to a Sirsi court order providing relief to all 62 people arrested during the protest. " I request our chief minister to have a peep into the mirror, now! His own court jester-colleagues are sure to drop him in mid-course and escape from the scene (sic). What can his own consultant or the useless Home Minister can do when the plans of supporting the terrorists and repressing the real patriots are in action! (sic).
Hegde then goes on to state that following the court's decision, the BJP has decided to intensify its protest "against the communal, caste-carved dumb government" besides targeting terrorists.
