Bagalkot: The BJP leaders are on a spree of issuing controversial statements. After Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur and MP Parvesh Verma, here in the state MLA Basanagoud Patil has opined that it was a blunder committed by Mahatma Gandhi that led to ‘inefficient’ Jawaharlal Nehru becoming the Prime Minister of India.

Addressing a pro-CAA rally in Bagalkot, Yatnal said that though majority wanted Sardar Vallabhai Patel to become the first Prime Minister of Independent India, it was Mahatma Gandhi who made a mistake.

“Due to this mistake, an inefficient Nehru, who was leading a luxurious, pompous life became the PM. It is said that his cigars came from London and his clothes were sent to London for dry-cleaning. Today, these people talk about poverty,” he said.
