It is no secret, that the Congress government’s soft approach on the minorities with crores of rupees being sanctioned for their religious places in many districts of Karnataka, notably in KG George’s constituency where nearly 50 crores was sanctioned.

The ‘secular’government uses the revenues collected from temples for the renovation, infrastructure upgrade and building new religious/educational buildings of Christians and Muslims. RTI replies have also confirmed that people belonging to religious minority occupy plum positions in the Hindu Religious and Endowments Department.
