“Dress, eating habits, they’re your choice. Why should I come in the way? Wear whatever dress you want. Eat what you want. What’s that to me? I’ll eat my food. You eat yours. You have your right and I have mine. It’s that simple,” Siddaramaiah, the present CM has said.l that now.
“We (Congress) don’t discriminate based on caste or faith. BJP says ‘Sab Ka Saath, Sab Ka Vikas’. Where are they practicing this? Those sporting a beard, skull cap, and wearing a burqa are asked not to come in (sic). They keep lying. We’re not like that,” the CM also said at that event.
