Yeddyurappa's 'chicken' barb shows 'sick mentality' of 'nervous' BJP: Shiv Sena


Mumbai, Feb 15 (PTI): Slamming Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa over his remarks that Congress president Rahul Gandhi had consumed meat before visiting a temple Shiv Sena today said that discussing such issues during poll campaign shows the "sick mentality" of the "nervous" BJP.

Three days back, Yeddyurappa had hit out at Rahul Gandhi for reportedly visiting a temple after eating "Javari chicken" during his tour of northern parts of the poll-bound state.

"Congress president Rahul Gandhi gave the BJP family sleepless nights in Gujarat. It looks as if the same is going to be repeated in the Karnataka (Assembly elections). Rahul Gandhi visited a number of temples in Gujarat and offered prayers there.

That time, the BJP criticised him severely, as it was worried about its own existence thinking what will happen if the Congress leader adopted Hindutva," the Sena, in an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamana said.

Gandhi, during his election, had stopped at Kanakagiri in Koppal district and visited the Kanakachala Laxmi-Narasimha temple.

The write-up also claimed that the Congress will corner the BJP in the upcoming Karnataka elections, similar to what they did last year ahead of the Gujarat polls by adopting "soft Hindutva".

"Now, election rallies are being held in Karnataka and there is an exchange of allegations between the BJP and the Congress.

Like in Gujarat, Rahul Gandhi has been visiting mosques as well as temples in that state. This has angered the BJP's chief ministerial face, BS Yeddyurappa, who accused Gandhi of visiting a temple after consuming meat," the Uddhav Thackeray-led party said.

And though the Congress immediately issued a clarification saying that Rahul Gandhi had a vegetarian meal before visiting the temple, according to Shiv Sena, the whole incident only shows the new "low" that this election campaign has touched.

"Discussing such issues during the election campaign is a sign of sick mentality," the Sena noted.

The piece further read that one should not hurt people's religious sentiments, and also should not see what others were eating.

"Every religious place has its own customs and traditions. There are temples in Maharashtra where meat is offered to the deity...Raking up such issues in election campaigns displays a sick mentality.

Only they know what was there in Rahul Gandhi's plate. But we are sure that it has turned the BJP nervous," the party added.

The Sena said that instead of thinking about whether former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was a vegetarian or not, it was important to note that she divided Pakistan.

The Sena, in his mouth-piece, also hit out at Yeddyurappa over the violence at Karnataka border during his tenure as Karnataka chief minister.

"During 'vegetarian' Yedyurappa's tenure as the chief minister, the blood of Marathi speaking people living in Karnataka's border areas was shed after they were hit by violence. This violence is also a kind of non vegetarianism!" the Sena said.

    The BJP in Karnataka is ina a desperate situation unable to counter the popularity of the Able CM of Karnataka who has provided a stable administration and ensured Peace, Harmony and Development. This is real Karnataks Model of Development and not the fake Gujarat Model of Development.

    Yeddi did you forget about karma phala!!!
    what you sowed you reap now.....sanchita karma!/ prarabda karma
    Also enjoy the kriyamana karma along.


    You and your cadre have hurt christians/muslims......you went to the extent of sending your sanghis to break churches and other places of worship, you think it will not come back. This is the height of your downfall. Please note in the garbha gudi (sanctum sanctorium) of Shiva temple/church/shakthi temple/krishna temple ....there is only one god....one para brahma lives only difference is people call that in different names.

    "Yatha twam karasi,
    Tatha twam bhogasi."

    So now enjoy the karma phala!!!

    Like in Gujarat, here in Karnataka also they will pose sleepless night to BJP. Voter will decide who should sleep well after elections. That's Democracy what Indira Gandhi rejected. Voter or every citizen has the right to know why and who levied emergency in India in spite of Democratic constitution. During Indira period, India became DEMO-CRITICAL.

    Veteran Poojary says SAALA MELA as achievement. Dr. Manmohan Singh has a different opinion about it being an economist. Is there any word from Poojary about how much loan recovered among distributed ? If it is Money Distribution scheme, then it could have been distributed equally among the below poor masses. Do they did that ?

    How Subhas Chandra Bose disappeared ? How a healthy Shastri muted at Tashkent ? Why many time interim PM Nanda lived a poor life at his last days ? Why Indira became deaf to Acharya Vinobha Bhave to Indira ? Only questions but no answer from INDIRA NATIONAL CONGRESS !!!!!

    Whatever be the achievement of Congress and BJP, the reality of one state, I give below, as reported in papers today.

    Chennai: "Owing to scarcity of employment, 992 PhDs, 23,000 MPhils, 2.5 lakh postgraduates, 8 lakh graduates (1.8 lakh Engineering graduates in them) among the nearly 20 lakh applicants who appeared for 9500 posts of typists and stenographers test" If it is like in a forward state, what may be the magnitude of unemployment in India ? Some said selling tea and eatables also require a shop and licence and selling on street is illegal and dangerous.

    Does GOD told not to eat meat??? It all man's nonsense to fool GOD & man. Some create all nonsense rituals saying GOD's name. GOD WANTS ONLY LOVE OF GOD AND LOVE OF HUMAN BEING. We make GOD's goodness, a disastre because of all our utter nonsense rituals. ALL RELIGIONS SHOULD PROPAGATE RIGHT CONCEPT OF GOD. IT REQUIRES REAL GOD EXPERIENCE. Do not destroy the little faith the real human beings have because of one's selfishness and greediness.

    Poor Yeddi, biting more than he can chew................It would have been better if he had kept his mouth shut. What people eat and what they wear are more important issues to him than all the other problems like unemployment, infrastructure, agricultural distress, power shortages etc etc. I think he better open a vegetable shop in a mandi and sit there, instead of talking nonsense on the political stage.
