In a controversial statement, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) working president and MLA Dinesh Gundu Rao on Saturday said people should beat Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with chappals.
Speaking at an event organised by the Congress at Maurya Circle in Bengaluru to protest against Unnao and Kathua rape incidents, Rao said Adityanath is unfit to be a chief minister. People should teach him a lesson if he visits Karnataka again, the Congress leader added. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should immediately remove Adityanath from the post of chief minister. It is an insult to the people of Karnataka Adityanath visits the state, Rao said while addressing the Uttar Pradesh chief minister in the singular.
