Criticising on the statement given by KJP leader Dhananjay Kumar on D V Sadananda Gowda is ridiculous. Even though BJP gave him respect and position, he left the party, but BJP has no problem with it. However, he must mind his own business before commenting issues which is not related to him.

BJP leaders Srikar Prabhu, Raj Gopal Rai, Franklin Monteiro, Nithin Kumar and others were present.
