Ananth Hegade must be made to board 'mental asylum' bus: Minister H S Revanna
Bengaluru: Transport Minister H M Revanna has come down heavily on Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegade for his criticism of Kannada intellectuals and writers. "The person who speaks lowly about Kannada stalwarts should be made to board the Route No. 4 bus (NIMHANS)," he said.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Saudha, Revanna said Hegade who was silent for some time after his Constitution Change remarks has once again begun wagging his tongue. "There is no other way but to put him up on the Route No. 4 bus," he said.
"Several writers including Kuvempu and GS Shivarudrappa have brought name and fame to our land and culture. No other language has got as many Jnanapeetha Awards as Kannada. Ananth Kumar Hegade must stop giving such statements," he demanded.
