Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy on Wednesday accused the Opposition BJP and its workers of indulging in “troublesome acts in disguise” and alleged that they instigate communal violence in the State.
The Minister was making a statement in connection with violence during a religious procession at Ragi Gudda area in Shivamogga on Sunday last. Mr. Reddy’s statements received a sharp reaction from the BJP, whose leaders have termed it an attempt at covering up the government’s failures.
