Bengaluru (Karnataka) – The Congress party purified the Karnataka State Assembly hereby sprinkling Ganga water and gomutra, offering sacred fire and puja, and reciting Hanuman Chalisa. Congress has said that the BJP has defiled the State Assembly through corruption. Earlier in January, Congress leader D K Shivakumar had said that the time has come to purify the State Assembly with gomutra.

Editorial viewpoint

How did Congress, which at other times considered Gangajal and gomutra as superstitions, now feel these things sacred ? How did the progressive Congress, which did not support the cow slaughter ban, realise the importance of gomutra ?
