BSY hits back at Priyank Kharge over his Home Ministry jibe

Bengaluru: Hitting back at Chittapur Congress MLA Priyank Kharge for taking a jibe at Amit Shah’s appointment as Home Minister, BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa on Saturday said, “he is speaking nonsense without any base.”

He also said that because of Priyank, his father and senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge lost over 1 lakh votes in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.

Earlier in the day, Priyank Kharge took to Twitter and wrote, “Now that we have a new Home Minister, I think it is better to rename the Ministry of Home Affairs as Ministry of Providing Clean Chits.”

Priyank attacked Shah a day after the latter was allotted Ministry of Home Affairs in the Narendra Modi Cabinet.
