Bhatkallys News Bureau Yet another controversial statement by Union Minister Anant Kumar Hedge has disturbed the sentiments of people in the state and this time he has targeted the 'Kannada Language'. The Minister said, those hailing from Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Shivamogga have fluency over the Kannada Language. Apart from these, there is no command to the language in other places. This comment has hurt the sentiments of Kannadigas and also to his own party. Hence a spokesman of BJP, Suresh Kumar has demanded the withdrawal of the comment from Hegde. As the election are nearby, BJP is likely to get a huge damage from frequent Hegde's controversial statements, hence the BJP leaders have urged the party's national leaders to take action against Hegde.
