Koppal (Karnataka), Karnataka Minister Shivraj Tangdagi on Saturday said that if BJP wins the Lok Sabha elections again, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will build his own temples in every village.

The minister's comments came in the backdrop of PM Modi's interview to a national TV channel, in which he had reportedly said, "By the time my mother was alive, I was thin, I was born biologically. After the demise, when I look back at my experiences, I believe that this power is not from my body, it is given to me by God, so God has also given me the ability, strength and inspiration to do this. God has given me a The equipment has been sent."

Tangdagi also took a dig at BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra's statement in which he had said that Lord Jagannath is a devotee of PM Modi.

He said, "If Prime Minister Narendra Modi wins this time, a situation will arise to build his temples everywhere." Ram temple has been built and others are also being built. 'Now (he will say) my own temple should be built' because his statements are like that," Tangadagi told reporters in Karatagi in Thi district.

The minister said, "Modi's mind has reached such an extent that if people give him a chance this time, he will say that his temple should be built in every village." He said that the public representatives are public servants, they are not. . God.

Mocking Patra's statement, Tangdagi said, "They (BJP leaders) say that Pur Jagannath is a devotee of Modi. If God is his devotee, then (you can guess) where the mentality of BJP people has reached." "

Terming his statement as a slip of the tongue, Patra, BJP candidate from Jagannath Puri in Odisha, had apologized to the people and did penance for three days.
