Priyank Kharge’s statement misinterpreted; BJP experts in misleading people

Bengaluru Express
Bengaluru, Oct 18: The cabinet decision requiring organizations or associations to obtain permission from the concerned local authorities before conducting activities in government premises is a justified move, said Dr. Sharanaprakash R. Patil, Minister for Medical Education, Skill Development, Livelihood, and In-charge of Raichur district.

Responding political developments here on Saturday, the minister noted that Congress government has not introduced the restriction but it was first implemented during the tenure of former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar. “We are merely enforcing what the BJP government had brought in. Having nothing constructive to do, BJP leaders are now trying to create confusion among people.”

Defending Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) minister Priyank Kharge, Dr.Patil said Priyank never said that the RSS should be banned. “His statement has been completely misinterpreted. He only said that any organization must take permission to conduct activities in government-controlled premises, including school and college campuses. There’s nothing wrong in that,” he clarified.

He further remarked, “Misleading the public has become BJP’s routine strategy. But people won’t fall for it.” When asked about the RSS route march in Chittapur, Kalaburagi, Dr. Patil said he did not have detailed information on the matter.

No one takes Yatnal’s statements seriously

Reacting to MLA Basanagouda Yatnal’s statement that Muslims should not be allowed to offer namaz in public places, Dr. Patil said, “Yatnal speaks only for his constituency — and everyone knows the nature of that region. People are also aware of how Yatnal behaved earlier and how he behaves now. His statements are made only for political mileage. No one takes his words seriously,” Dr. Patil said with subtle criticism.
