Congress's appeasement politics is to blame: BJP
Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly R Ashoka on Monday demanded that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah apologise to the people of the state over the communal violence in Maddur town during a Ganesha immersion procession.
The BJP leader alleged that the Congress government's appeasement politics has emboldened miscreants and created a "peculiar situation" where Hindus were treated as "second-class citizens."
"Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should tender an apology for insulting Goddess Chamundeshwari, Dharmasthala and now for the Maddur incident," he demanded.
Ashoka told reporters in Bengaluru that the stone-pelting on the Ganesha procession in Maddur on September 7 was not an isolated incident but a larger plan.
