Chitradurga: BJP leader and Vijayapura MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal continued his tirade against veteran freedom fighter HS Doreswamy.
Speaking to reporters in Chitradurga, Yatnal said that he did not know if Doreswamy was an elephant or a pig.
He was responding to a statement by Sanehalli Mutt pontiff who had said, “When the elephant moves, dogs bark but the elephant never bothers.”
It can be recalled that Yatnal had sparked a controversy when he referred to the centenarian freedom fighter as a “Pakistani agent”.
The BJP leader reiterated that he was ready to apologise to Doreswamy if Congress leaders apologised for their statements against Veer Savarkar.
He also took a dig at former CM HD Kumaraswamy for his statement against him. “HD Deve Gowda started his career as a small-time contractor. Today he has property worth thousands of crores. Where did this property come from?” he questioned.
