MP Umesh Jadhav calls Priyank Kharge a ‘special baby’ of Karnataka

Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Priyank Kharge who was inducted into the Siddaramaiah Cabinet after winning the Assembly elections in 2013 for the first-time is really a ‘special baby’ for the Karnataka State, Kalaburagi MP Umesh Jadhav has said. He becomes IT&BT and Tourism Minister in 2016, again in Congress-JD coalition government in 2018 Mr. Kharge got Social Welfare portfolio and now he bagged the key RDPR and also the IT&BT portfolios effortlessly, so I consider him as ‘special baby’ of Karnataka, he criticised. Though AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge won Assembly elections from Gurmitkal Assembly Constituency eight times and Mr. Priyank Kharge won from Chittapur Assembly Constituency three consecutive periods, they have opened a CBSE school at Yelahanka and established a Medical College in Bengaluru, Should I call him Minister of Dollars Colony,” Dr. Jadhav questioned. The police have failed to take action against the culprits involved in the murder of BJP worker Devanand Koraba; the accused who assaulted a city corporation employee last month are still roaming scot-free; a BJP worker in Sedam taluk died by suicide recently blaming alleged harassment by Medical Education Minister Sharanprakash Patil; but the district police have turned blind eye to all the incidents, Dr. Jadhav accused.
