Kundapur, Jul 22: Dakshina Kannada MP and BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Saturday July 22 said that the Congress government in the state is soft on terrorists and is following an anti-Hindu agenda.

The MP spoke to media after visiting the historic Kota Amrutheshwari temple. Nalin further said, “Five terrorists are arrested in Bengaluru. The state home minister who is afraid to call them as terrorists, labels them as anti-communal and tries to send them out of the district. The government has failed to control terrorism and is riding on Hindutva. The people will teach them a lesson.

“We have 66 MLAs. Therefore, they are campaigning against the anti-people policies of the government. The JD(S) is supporting our campaign. Our coalition may take place if our national leaders agree. The BJP leaders at the centre will take a decision on the opposition leader,” he said.

Temple management committee president Anand C Kunder offered special prayers and handed over Prasadam to Nalin.
