Mysuru: Giving political hue to the highway accident shows the criminal mindset of BJP, said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah while responding to MP Pratap Simha’s twitter comment.
“If u have guts, face us politically. If u try to finish @AnantkumarH in others means, we will hit the streets n none can save u”, Pratap Simha tweeted after minister Hegde hinted at foul play and a deliberate attempt on his life. Posting pictures and video of the accident on Twitter earlier, Hegde had alleged threat to his life, claiming that he just narrowly escaped a “deliberate attempt” made on his life.
“BJP is party of criminals who resort to cheap politics to gain political mileage”, accused CM and said,”Road accidents take place due to reckless driving, over-speeding and several other reasons.”
One should not think in criminal lines like men in BJP, said CM and justified that he is a better Hindu than Minister Hegde, while responding to Simha’s tweet that minister Hegde, a Hindu tiger. “They are Hindu and communal whereas I’m Hindu and secular”, CM retorted.
Since election model code of conduct is in force, there is no information flow related to accident involving Hegde, CM said.
