Former Chief Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy said here on Thursday that the Government’s administrative incompetence led to the hijab issue engulfing the entire State.
He told mediapersons that the Government let a minor incident to snowball due to its inept handling and spread across the State as it was its intention to polarise the society for political gains.
It allowed the issue to gain traction to cover its administrative failure and though the BJP may not have direct involvement the other right wing affiliates have played a part in politicising it, said Mr. Kumaraswamy.
