MP tells Priyank Kharge to shun vindictive politics, instead focus on development works

Accusing Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge of resorting to vindictive and revenge politics, Member of Parliament from Kalaburagi Umesh Jadhav asked the Congress leader to shun vendetta politics and try to take the district to the top by focusing on development works.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Dr. Jadhav said that Mr. Kharge is using the police to harass BJP leader Manikanth Rathod who contested against him [Priyank Kharge] from Chittapur constituency in the recent Assembly elections and was defeated.

He also came down heavily on Mr. Kharge for using the police to foil a protest led by Mr. Rathod in Chittapur last week. Mr. Rathod planned to stage a protest against the police for their failure to arrest the culprits involved in Devanand Koraba’s murder. The next day after he was detained, Mr. Rathod was again forced to visit Madbool Police Station and remanded to 14 days in custody.
