New Delhi, April 26, 2023 (PPI-OT):Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Karnataka minister K S Eshwarappa has said that the saffron party didn’t need Muslim votes in Shivamogga city in the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections scheduled on May 10. According to reports Eshwarappa said this while addressing a gathering of Veerashaiva – Lingayat community near former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa’s residence at Vinoba Nagar in Shivamogga.

He said, “Let us interact with people of all castes and enquire about the benefits they enjoyed during the BJP rule. Every community has benefited. There are around 60,000 Muslims in the city. We don’t want their votes.” “Under BJP rule, Hindus were safe. Nobody dared attack Hindus. There is a feeling among the public that they would not be as secure if any non-BJP government came to power.”
