Mangalore Today News Network

Mangaluru, Jan 02 2018 : Expelled former Congress man Harikrishna Bantwal who is  now with the BJP,  invited the ire of journalists at a press meet held on January 1, Monday over the issue of  the former repeatedly taking up the  issue of alleged insult of senior leader Janardhana Poojary by DK District in-charge Minister Ramanatha Rai.

When scribes wanted to know what was prompting Harikrishna to repeatedly raise the issue, the latter literally was taken aback and had no answers.

Scribes also wanted to know why he was raising the issue now that he was in the BJP, while he was silent on the matter when he was in  the Congress.

A heated exchange of words ensued between journalists and Harikrishna Bantwal, with the former asking the BJP leader not to rake up the issue, while  Harikrishna kept on saying  that he did the right thing.
