Mahila Congress Leader Condemns Right-Wing Figure’s “Divisive” Remarks on Women and Religious Demographics

Koppal, Karnataka – October 25, 2025 – Jyoti M. Gondabal, President of the Koppal District Mahila Congress, has issued a strong condemnation of right-wing leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, accusing him of making “objectionable and divisive remarks” during a public event in Dakshina Kannada.

In a press release issued today, Ms. Gondabal stated that Mr. Bhat displayed an “extremely regressive mindset” during a Deepotsava event in Puttur taluk. She specifically cited his comments regarding the Ullal Assembly constituency, currently represented by Speaker U.T. Khader, as being particularly offensive.

“Mr. Bhat’s reported remarks suggesting that a Hindu candidate cannot win in Ullal due to a higher population of Muslim families, and that Hindus are losing due to fewer votes, are not only misleading but also an insult to women and the democratic process,” Gondabal stated. She emphasized that decisions regarding family size are personal and should not be subject to external commentary.

Gondabal further criticized the perceived focus on divisive politics at a time when the public is grappling with economic challenges. “The people of this country are struggling with rising prices and unemployment, while the government seems more concerned with divisive politics,” she said.

The controversy surrounding Bhat’s remarks is likely to fuel further debate regarding societal harmony and political rhetoric in Karnataka.
