BJP links Maddur Ganpati violence to Cong

Bengaluru, Sept 9 (UNI) union Minister Shobha Karandlaje and BJP leader CT Ravi today expressed deep concern over what they described as the 'humiliation of Hindus" and the deteriorating law and order situation in Karnataka under the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government.
Speaking to reporters, Karandlaje alleged that the state administration, under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivkumar, has failed to maintain peace across various cities, deliberately targeting Hindu religious events.
She cited recent incidents in Mysuru and Mandya districts, including stone-pelting during a Ganpati immersion procession in Mysuru and communal tensions during festivities in Maddur. Recalling last year’s temple incident, she alleged that a Ganpati idol was forcibly taken away in a police jeep during festivities.
