Hate Speech

• A purported video of Basanagouda Patil instructing corporators to work only for Hindus, who have voted for him, and not for Muslims, has gone viral on social media. He was heard saying- "I had called all corporators and have told them that they should work for Hindus and not Muslims...who have voted for me in Bijapur". ^[15]
• BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal on Feb. 2023 made a statement targeting Muslims in the state and comparing them with the late ruler of Mysore Tipu Sultan and urged not to cast votes for Muslims, even by mistake. He said -"All MLAs ask me that there are one lakh Tipu Sultans in your constituency (Muslim voters), so how did you, a Shivaji Maharaj descendant win from Bijapur? In the future, no followers of Tipu Sultan will win in Bijapur. Only descendants of Shivaji Maharaj will win. Yes or no? You mustn't vote for Muslims even by mistake." ^{[16] [17]}
