Unbecoming of a CM to make a Threat against Leader of opposition – BJP MLA Sunil Kumar
Udupi: The district BJP staged a protest in front of the District office at Kadiyali on September 21, Condemning the statement made by the Chief Minister that he would be forced to call on the people to revolt against the BJP for allegedly trying to destabilize his government.
Addressing the protesters Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar said, “It is unbecoming of a chief minister to make an open threat against the Leader of the opposition. Only Naxals give such a call for revolt. The person who is suppose to protect the constitution and the citizens of the country is provoking the people”.
Sunil Kumar further said, “He should be arrested for insulting the Constitution and his anti-national behavior. Being the Chief Minister of the state, how can Kumaraswamy call for a revolt (Dange) in the state? If Kumaraswamy does not seek an apology, we will intensify our protest against him in the coming days. The police should immediately file a case against Kumaraswamy under the Indian Penal Code for promoting enmity,” he demanded.
District BJP president Mattar Ratnakar Hegde, MLA’s Raghupathi Bhat and Lalaji R Mendon, BJP leaders Shyamala Kundar, Yashpal Suvarna and others were present
