Exclusive: Mallikarjun Kharge hit back at BJP’s allegations, said- We built 80 Hanuman temples in Kalburgi

Bangalore. BJP and Congress have given full strength for the Karnataka Assembly elections (Karnataka Chunav 2023). In this election, politics is also being done in the name of Bajrangbali. Meanwhile, during the election campaign, in the presence of Sonia Gandhi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge coined a new slogan related to Bajrangbali. He said, ‘Jai Bajrang Bali, break the pipe of corruption!

Ever since the ban on Bajrang Dal was included in the Congress manifesto, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been accusing the Congress of being anti-Hindu. In a special conversation with News18, Kharge said that he had built 80 Hanuman temples in his constituency Kalaburagi because people wanted it. He also said that religion and politics should be kept separate, but the BJP does not believe in it. He also criticized the PM for holding a roadshow in Bengaluru while Manipur was burning.

He banned Shri Ram Sena in Goa
Not wanting to discuss who could be the chief minister if the Congress wins, Kharge, in a manner of ruling himself, said that he is not a black horse. They deliberately do this at the time of elections. In Goa they banned Shri Ram Sena and nobody said anything, not even the Prime Minister. In this election, because they fear they are going to lose, they are raising the issue. Most of the people here are Hindu, and everyone worships different gods and goddesses.

Politics should not be mixed with religion?
Why should politics be mixed with religion? Both should be separate, but these people want to mix it and polarize the state. I don’t know what DK said because I was in Hubli. But to give an example, in my constituency, I wanted to build roads etc. But many people came to me and said they wanted help in renovating or building temples. So I said ok, because I had to respect their belief.

80 temples in my constituency
Kharge said that you will be surprised to know that in my constituency alone, I have renovated and constructed 80 Hanuman temples. The best thing is that anyone who belongs to any caste can go there.
