Mysuru, Aug 27: "What is the relationship between cow slaughter and the flood that occurred in Kerala? Should we react to this kind of statements by the BJP leaders?" fumed former CM Siddaramaiah.
He was speaking to the scribes after seeking blessings from the Shivarathri Deshikendra Swamiji of Suttur Math, which is situated at the foot of the Chamundi Hills.
Expressing his anguish on the statement of BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal which said that the recent deluge was the punishment God inflicted on the people of Kerala as they have consumed beef, Siddaramaiah questioned, "People of Kerala are eating beef from time immemorial. Why there was no deluge during that period?"
