Responding to Minister Priyank Kharge’s statement, Legislative Council member C.T. Ravi remarked in Chikkamagaluru that taking only the latter part of his statement without context could lead to misinterpretation. He sparked controversy by stating, “Those with pure blood stand with me, but those with impure blood speak impurely.”He further questioned, “If stones are thrown at our gods, petrol bombs are hurled, idols are spat upon, or slogans like ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ are raised, should we stay silent?

Cowards and those with impure blood may remain quiet, but how can those with pure blood stay silent?”Speaking at an event organized by the Chikkamagaluru Civil Engineers’ Association to mark Sir M. Visvesvaraya’s birth anniversary, C.T. Ravi paid tribute by garlanding his statue at Azad Park. He emphasized that Sir M. Visvesvaraya’s foresight and ideals are an inspiration for building a robust democratic nation. He urged young engineers to draw inspiration from Visvesvaraya’s intelligence, hard work, and socially conscious thinking, noting that his impeccable professional life earned him the Bharat Ratna.GLARE & BLAIR Ribbed Sleeveless Bodycon Tank Mini Cami Dress for Women
