Union Minister of State for Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Parshottam Rupala on Tuesday asked the Congress if it wanted to start its term in Karnataka with a nod to cow slaughter, amid reports that the Siddaramaiah goverment may revisit the law banning it in the State.
Mr. Rupala, who addressed a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi over nine years of the Narendra Modi government, said Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Sonia Gandhi should clarify their stand on the issue. “Do they [Congress] want their government to start its tenure with cow slaughter?” Mr. Rupala said.
