Koppal,Jul 14: Chief minister, Siddaramaiah, has accused communal forces of being responsible for disturbances in Dakshna Kannada (DK). He said BJP activists are now acting out a drama to cover up their wrongdoings.
Addressing media persons near Basapur in Koppal taluk on Thursday July 13, Siddaramaiah accused BJP and Sangh Parivar of indulging in communalism in the country. "These people are now hurling accusations against others. I have asked the deputy commissioner of Dakshina Kannada and district in-charge minister, Ramanath Rai, to hold peace meeting," he stated.
Refuting allegations being made on the issue by BJP and its leaders, Siddaramaiah insisted that adviser to the home minister and former IPS officer, Kempaiah, has not been given charge of curbing disturbances in Dakshina Kannada district as alleged. "Kempaiah never visited Mangaluru. I have asked director general of police and law and order compliance police officers to visit the district. Sri Ram Sene, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Bajrang Dal, SDPI etc are communal organizations and I have directed officials to act against them if they are found involved with the disturbances," he added.
