Hubballi: “Urban Development Minister R Roshan Baig by abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not only shown his culture but also that of Congress”, Leader of the Opposition in Assembly Jagadish Shettar said.
Speaking to media persons here on October 14, Shettar said if the Congress leadership including All India Congress Committee “future president” Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah don’t take strict action against Baig by dropping him from the cabinet, it would be understood by the people as they (Rahul and Siddaramaiah) have given their consent for the abusive language used by him.
Shettar while taking exception to the Congress leaders being mum over the shameful utterance by Baig, said it meant they were in support of his abusive language. Baig, in a public meeting in Shivajinagar, Bengaluru had called PM Modi, a “son of W****.”
Calling Baig unfit to be a minister, Shettar asked Siddaramaiah to either seek Baig’s resignation or drop him from the cabinet. “It is unbecoming of a minister to abuse the prime minister of India, who has dedicated his entire life for the betterment of the country,” he said.
