Work for Hindus Who Voted for Me, Not Muslims: BJP MLA Yatnal

Basangouda legislator S Patil Yatnal said elections were a war between Hindus and Muslims.

Karnataka Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has landed himself in a soup by making controversial remarks against the Muslim voters of his constituency.

A purported video of former Union minister instructing corporators to work only for Hindus, who have voted for him, and not for Muslims on Monday, 4 June, in Vijayapura has gone viral on social media, PTI reported.

“I had called all corporators and have told them that they should work for Hindus and not Muslims...who have voted for me in Bijapur,” Yatnal is purportedly heard saying in the video, to which the crowd responded by saying “Hindus”, the PTI report added.
