Banning cow slaughter makes a return to the BJP’s list of priorities ahead of 2018 Karnataka Assembly elections. KS Eshwarappa, the leader of Opposition in the Karnataka legislative council, said that prohibition of cow slaughter will be the first government decision if the BJP comes to power in Karnataka.
He was addressing a public rally during the Karnataka Suraksha Yatra, in coastal Karnataka’s Udupi district, on Monday, 5 March.
“Siddaramaiah has cancelled the anti-cow slaughter bill and allowed cow slaughter to continue. In the land of lord Krishna, I promise that when the BJP will come to power, the first bill we will pass will be the prohibition of cow slaughter,” said Eshwarappa.
