Bangalore: Alleging that Union Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury was politicising the incidents that took place in Mangalore - including an attack on a pub - Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Monday sought the Prime Minister's intervention to stop "objectionable statements" from her.
"Even though the state government has taken immediate and effective action in both these cases, Renuka Chowdhury has been politicising the issues unnecessarily. She has been giving objectionable statements to the press now and then",
Yeddyurappa said in a letter to Manmohan Singh, a copy of which was released to the press.
He described the Minister's threat to launch "pub bharo andolan" in Karnataka as a "gimmick", and wanted the Prime Minister to counsel her not to make any "offensive statements" against his government.
Renuka Chowdhury in the aftermath of the pub attack and kidnapping of the daughter of a CPI(M) Kerala MLA had hit out at the BJP government in the state saying "there was a breakdown of law and order in Karnataka".
"All instruments of democracy would be used to stop such incidents", she had warned.
Talking to reporters at Gulbarga earlier, Yeddyurappa said the Union Minister was levelling allegations against his government 'without verifying facts.
