00:00Because the other big story that made headlines from Karnataka this morning
00:03and how that man who was arrested for threatening Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Khadge.
00:08Karnataka police that arrested that 48-year-old man, his name is Sudhir Bangera.
00:13He was from Karkala.
00:14This after he issued a death threat on social media against Priyank Khadge.
00:19Khadge Jr., who while interacting with India today, alleged that the accused is linked to the RSS.
00:24But the BJP hit back at Khadge saying that if you as Home Minister of the state is using this
00:30language,
00:30saying this against the perpetrator, then how are the people of Karnataka expected to stay safe?
00:35We are getting you all the details in this report.
00:38RSS signal that BJP is going to be worst than JTS.
00:42Worst for the JTS.
00:44RSS signal that Karnataka is going to be worst than JTS.
00:47An alleged death threat to Karnataka Home Minister,
00:50followed by an arrest, an exchange of charges and a massive political slugfest.
00:57A 48-year-old man, Sudhir Bangera from Karkala,
01:02was arrested by the Karnataka police on charges of issuing a death threat to Minister Priyank Khadge.
01:08In a social media post, the accused called the minister a beggar
01:13and said that the time had come to finish him off.
01:15Priyank Khadge, while interacting with India today,
01:19asserted that the man issuing open threats would be taught a lesson within the ambit of the law.
01:24He was already voted or enrolled as a voter.
01:27Evident on social media.
01:29I have already posted the comments on social media made by RSS people.
01:34And more importantly, we have also taken action.
01:37My question is very simple.
01:39It's not even been 48 hours or three days taken charge.
01:44Already they are letting loose their goons at the Home Minister of Karnataka.
01:50And if they think that I'm going to take it lying down, they're mistaken.
01:55Priyank's cabinet colleague and minister, Sharad Prakash Patil,
01:58backed him and said that Khadge cannot be threatened.
02:04Priyank is what Priyank is raising is the right thing.
02:07And because they are not able to digest it and now they're trying to target him
02:14and they're trying to threaten him and all, you see,
02:18this type of tactics don't work on Priyank.
02:21The BGP, on the other hand, launched a scathing attack
02:24on the newly appointed Karnataka Home Minister.
02:51This comes after Priyank Kargay targeted the RSS,
02:54telling it to be ready with documents.
02:56I'm seeking accountability from the world's largest NGO.
03:02When the Prime Minister of India says from the Red Fort
03:04that RSS is the world's biggest NGO
03:07and these people are celebrating their century in existence
03:13and we don't know anything about them.
03:15In a country where even God is held accountable
03:17for the donations the temple gets,
03:20why should they be held unaccountably?
03:23The alleged threat and the prompt arrest may only intensify
03:27the Khadge Jr. versus BGP RSS showdown in Karnataka.
03:32With Nagarjun Dwarkana, Bureau Report, India Today.
03:37So there you see how this allegation by Priyank Kargay and this after the man has also been arrested,
03:43but how the BGP is taking him on by saying that you as the Home Minister of the State are
03:48saying this,
03:48then how are people expected to stay safe?
03:51Let me take this to my colleague Sagai Raj, who's with us on the broadcast.
03:54Sagai, you know, of course, that man put out that social media post and this against Priyank Kargay.
03:58He's the Home Minister of the State of Karnataka.
04:00That man has been arrested.
04:01But with regards to the politics that broke out,
04:03especially the fight between the BJP and the Congress
04:06and how BJP took on Priyank Kargay.
04:09So if you notice that time and again, Priyank Kargay has targeted RSS and BJP.
04:13And after becoming the Home Minister,
04:15he had given a warning stating that RSS should be getting ready with the documents.
04:19And even with the conversation with India today,
04:22he has categorically mentioned that
04:23when the temples and the gods are accountable with the money of donation
04:27and the funds that they are getting into the temple,
04:29why not the RSS?
04:30RSS should also come up with the kind of funds that they get
04:34and they should be showing how they are getting and how they are using those funds.
04:38So he has asked for those papers.
04:39And this has not gone well with RSS and BJP,
04:42where they have criticized Priyank Kargay,
04:45stating that he's an habitual offender who have been targeting RSS and BJP time again.
04:51And it doesn't mean that if you become a Home Minister,
04:54you get a free pass to target these organizations.
04:57So they have targeted him.
04:59And if you notice that Priyank Kargay is not going to pudge on all those things,
05:03he has also categorically mentioned that he will ensure that whatever happens,
05:08he will take necessary action under the ambit of the law.
05:11And he will probably come up with the new laws
05:14where he will fix the accountability on all these issues.
05:18Oh, yes, absolutely.
05:19And we'll see what happens on that front.
