Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, on Martyrs’ Day, said that the unrest in Keragodu village in Mandya district was part of the larger communal agenda of BJP and Sangh Parivar.
On social media, the Chief Minister on Tuesday alleged the BJP and Sangh Parivar had put religious harmony at peril by publicly portraying “the ideology of Nathuram Godse.” “Today is the day the father of our nation Mahatma Gandhi became a martyr. The message of Gandhi, who lived for truth, non-violence, peace, harmony and tolerance, are more relevant today than ever. But forces who believe in Hindutva politics have hatched a conspiracy to oust the Gandhian ideology from the country,” Mr. Siddaramaiah alleged.
“The action of hoisting saffron flag on a flag post meant for only the national flag on government land in Keregodu indicates communal agenda rather than their devotion towards Lord Hanuman,” he argued.
