Daijiworld Media Network - Raichur (SP)

Raichur, Feb 20: Minister K S Eshwarappa, noted that former chief minister Siddaramaiah, has claimed that the site in Ayodhya where Ram Mandir will come up is disputed, and that he has also refused to give donation. He wondered what right Siddaramaiah has to seek accounts of the money collected so far.

Addressing the media persons, he said that Siddarmaiah addresses even the Prime Minister in the singular and questioned why he cannot speak in that style. He said that a person who works as a coolie for the construction of Ram Mandir has donated ten rupees. "That coolie can seek the accounts but not Siddaramaiah," he reasoned.

He told Siddaramaiah that he had been defeated once in Chamundeshwari constituency on account of the curse of Goddess Chamundeshwari. He warned Sidddaramaiah that now by unnecessarily meddling in Ram mandir affairs he might face the wrath of Lord Ram and get drubbed.

To a question about Yatnal's allegation that Vijayendra money in spending money in Bihar to defeat the BJP, Eshwarappa said he chooses not to respond to this allegation.
