“I am Sanjay Patil, I am Hindu, this is a Hindu rashtra (nation) and we want to build the Ram temple. If Lakshmi Hebbalikar (Congress candidate and president of KPCC women’s wing) says she can build the mandir – vote for her. They will build Babri Masjid instead. Whoever wants Babri Masjid, Tipu Jayanthi they should vote for the Congress. And who wants Shivaji Maharaj and Ram Mandir and Shambhaji Maharaj should vote for the BJP,” the MLA is heard saying in Kannada at what appears to be a public meeting held on 17th April, 2018. It is however, not clear from the video when and where it was recorded. Sanjay Patil is the contesting Candidate of the BJP from Belagavi Rural. 

“This election is not about roads, water or other issues. This election is about Hindus vs Muslims, Ram Mandir vs Babri Masjid,” News Agency ANI posted.

    We live in a country with people from different religions and situation today is such that we are world leaders in population explosion which is today causing distress amongst the mob due to reasons like lack of facilities, education, no proper aid due to ambiguity of mob and ambiguity can though be curbed but what about religions who preach the same rather than becoming educated and beleiving in the concept of “We two ours One or Two”, based on income one earns rather than seeking for government aid after haphazard family birth (which was 1/6th during Independance and now is almost 50%)to fulfill this family needs”. Also we all know we live in the society ruled by the Shivaji’s, Peshwas, Dravidians and were peaceful rulers and ofcourse were a feather to our history. Kings like Mahmud Ghajni, Aurangzeb only looted or behaved indecent which is a bitter fact and cannot demand ruling from this exploding gene atleast now in this scenario of democracy where a cold war or War of Words is sufficient and hogging is not at all necessary”.

    All political parties are guilty of vote bank politics. Unless people get enlightened that politicians only care for themselves and hold them accountable nothing is going to change. The vast majority is happy with dollops during election time.

    Rape is rape don’t politicise it! Similarly election is an election, DONT COMMUNALISE it! And how dare he involves Shivaji Maharaj’s name in his statements? Shivaji Maharaj was the most secular king of all time. The people of Belgaum should teach him a lesson by electing a secular and development focused party in the coming elections.

    Thanks!

    yes i support bjp but this unfair what he spoke abt Hindu and muslim. if Pakistan is sending terrorist it’s external affairs problem why the hell are u involving Hindu and muslim people. yes i agree that muslim people are rude but wat abt the fuckin MES party is doing even they are one kind of terrorist of our great belagavi. Kiran thakkur tells that belagavi is not property of anyone father’s. is belagavi is his father’s property. stop doing this divide n rule we all have same kind of red blood. I want ask Sanjay patil have u taken contract of construction of ram mandir. it is left to SC. you just focus on ur election not abt Hindu and muslim. be aware of this divide n rule

    Sure you will build ram mandir?
    You won in 2014, u r in power,government is yours what are you waiting for. It’s been 4years why did not you build it.
    The fact is you keep ram mandir issue pending just for votes.
    Is ram mandir is just a vote bank issue for you?

    Really I appreciate your love for secularism,equal rights etc. But have you condemned the benefits being disturbed on the basis of religion by cong govt? Have you criticized action of Rahul of dividing hindu religion and playing lingayat card on eve of election?

    Sanjay Patil has gone down the level of standards & ethics. He is destroying unity of society. Shame upon such leaders.
    In fact he could have raised any of the +tive points by which we all Belgavi people may get benefit. What is his development agenda.

    Pretty confusing…
    Modi could be for development.

    But at what rate is the party collecting the votes?

    Are these the standards.

    Shouldn’t such irresponsible communal statements be stopped. We are a secular democratic country with the right to practice the religion of our choice and have lived in harmony for several hundreds of years. This kind of hate speech is condemnable. Do not play with the religious sentiments of the public to get votes, this is a very cheap gimmick. Be responsible for every sentence you utter. With authority comes responsibility, plz remember that.
