Accusing the ruling BJP of triggering the hijab row and creating communal tension just to cover up its failures and divert people’s attention from the real issues, the former Higher Education Minister Basavaraj Rayaraddi demanded that President’s rule be imposed in the State on the basis of what according to him is a deteriorating law and order situation.

“The BJP government in the State did nothing for the welfare of the people and the development of the State. It has utterly failed in governance. It has no development-oriented initiatives to show. To cover up its failures and divert the attention of the people, it has now triggered the hijab row,” Mr. Rayaraddi told a press conference in Kalaburagi on Wednesday.
