Prank Kharge and group is extremely lively in Karnataka. You converse in opposition to CM you’ll find yourself in jail.

Instead of using poor backward & dalit youngsters, when will you inspire BJP leaders children to join you to protect religion? How many cows (Gowmatas) have you adopted in BJP Govt’s “Punya Koti Dattu Yojane”?” the Congress chief stated.
Enough pranks have been performed on the youth of Karnataka by you. Forget the prank, allow us to be frank.

“How many Gaushalas have you helped build through BJP/RSS funds? Do you drink Gau mutra daily & eat cow dung once in a while as suggested by colleagues?” Priyank Kharge made an off-the-cuff Hinduphobic jibe.
