Hedge, who is a repeat offender, had said that Karnataka Congress chief Dinesh Gundu Rao’s only achievement was “running behind a Muslim lady.” His reaction had come after Rao condemned him for saying, “The hand that touches a Hindu woman must not exist.”

Many others took to Twitter to condemn the Union Minister for his regressive and “shameful” comments.

"I only know him as a guy who ran behind a Muslim lady" - this is the pukeworthy language and mentality of the Union Minister of this country.

An there's nothing new about it.

Anantkumar Hegde would rather we discuss his hate speech rather than his utter failure as Minister of State for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship.

By focussing on his idiocy we let him, and people like him, get away with their betrayal of the country, and its future.

Ananthkumar Hegde has no abyss. He just keeps discovering new lows each time. And BJP not acting on him is a msg that they endorse him and his brand of vulgarism. https://t.co/SlOXAzvxll
