NDTV
Siddaramaiah questioned the BJP government at the Centre asking if they will rename Gujarat's Motera stadium which is renamed after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, last year.
Senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah has slammed Bharatiya Janata Party for its "hatred politics" after BJP General Secretary CT Ravi called for the renaming of Indira Canteens across Karnataka to ''Annapoorneshwari Canteen''. "The government is not right in its attempt to change the name of Indira Canteen. We have a strong opposition to this. It will become hatred politics," said Mr Siddaramaiah in an official statement. Earlier in the day, CT Ravi had urged Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to change the name of the canteens at the earliest stating that it is a reminder of "dark days of emergency." "Request Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to rename Indira Canteens across Karnataka as ''Annapoorneshwari Canteen'' at the earliest. Don't see any reason why Kannadigas should be reminded of the dark days of Emergency while they are having food," said the BJP general secretary in a tweet.More Related News
