Prathap Simha's vile “cut” remark about Chief Minister Siddaramaiah ji in Bagalkot has exposed the BJP's despicable politics once again.  It is increasingly evident that Prathap Simha’s outburst is driven by desperation. BJP is deliberately using Prathap Simha for insulting the tallest leader of the backward community, Shri Siddaramaiah, purely with a view to convey a message to the backward classes, Scheduled Castes and Minorities, that BJP treats them as inferior and subjugated as per their Manuvadi approach. Such conduct only exposes a complete bankruptcy of ideas, ethics, and leadership within the BJP. CM Siddaramaiah and DCM DK Shivakumar have received death threats in the past - from the same divisive forces, including one from BJP leaders who warned that their bodies would be stuffed into a refrigerator. This is not one man's madness - it is the BJP’s political culture. This is the same Prathap Simha, who in the past called the elected Karnataka government a "Taliban government" - not once, but repeatedly at the instruction of the BJP Central Leadership. BJP leaders are habitual offenders in spreading poisonous discourse. Ex MP Ananth Kumar Hegde openly insulted Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao's wife - while serving as a Union Minister. BJP MLC CT Ravi had fallen to the ultimate low by insulting Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar inside the Legislative Council itself. Other BJP leaders are repeat offenders in hurling insults, indignities, and outrageous remarks, to offend and denigrate individuals, communities, and religions. When abuse becomes the Magna Carta of BJP leaders, it is futile to expect language of development, progress, or harmony. The anger and frustration of BJP in Davanagere South and Bagalkot assembly bye-elections emanate from their rejection by the people and foresight of imminent defeat on April 9, 2026. Irked by the same, and angry with Kannadigas, State and Central BJP leadership has now assigned the task to the ilk of Prathap Simha, to hurl abuses and indignities at the leadership of the poor and downtrodden, including on Chief Minister Shri. Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar. And the ultimate irony - the BJP leadership first expelled and disowned Basanagouda Patil Yatnal for six years from the BJP. Yatnal openly calls BJP State President B. Y. Vijayendra and former Chief Minister Shri. B. S. Yeddyurappa as a "corrupt family”. In Bagalkot assembly, BJP and its candidate, Sh Veeranna Charantimath have now appointed Yatnal as their “star attraction”. A party divided into a thousand pieces, who cannot manage their own house, are now abusing Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Minorities and their leaders including Chief Minister Shri. Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister Shri. D. K. Shivakumar. Karnataka has a proud legacy of progressive thought, scientific temper, religious tolerance, and social harmony. The great Kannadigas will not be misled by BJP leaders, who seek to drag politics into the gutter. We demand the following immediately: 1. Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, BJP National President Sh. Nitin Nabin, BJP State President B. Y. Vijayendra, and LoP Sh. R. Ashoka must tender a public apology to 6.5 crore Kannadigas, particularly to the OBCs, SCs, and Minorities, for the disparaging and intolerable remarks of BJP leader Shri. Pratap Simha, made against Chief Minister Shri. Siddaramaiah. Let them expel Prathap Simha from BJP, if they do not subscribe to his remarks, and if they are not a party to the conspiracy. If they do not do so, it will be proved that the state and central leadership of the BJP has deliberately assigned Prathap Simha for hurling these nefarious insults and indignities. 2. FIR be lodged against Prathap Simha and strict action be taken. If the BJP and its leaders do not apologize, the poor and the downtrodden would teach the BJP a befitting lesson in the bye-elections of Davangere South and Bagalkot. Jai Hind! Jai Karnataka!
