Shettar has discriminated against Belagavi in the past, says Minister

The BJP has betrayed the trust of the people of Belagavi by nominating Jagadish Shettar for the Lok Sabha polls, Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar said in Gokak on Thursday.

She told reporters that Jagadish Shettar has discriminated against Belagavi in the past and that his claims of Belagavi being his Karma Bhoomi are pointless.

Ms. Hebbalkar also raised the issue of outsider against Mr. Shettar. “Why has Mr. Shettar come here? Is that only to hoodwink the people of Belagavi? I would like to ask what is his contribution to the district? He has clearly worked against our interests in the past. He is saying Belagavi is his Karma Bhoomi. Are we crazy to believe such claims?,” she said.
