Karwar: Former Minister and JD(S) leader Anand Asnotikar on Saturday termed Uttar-Kannada MP and Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Anantkumar Hegde as a Loafer in a press meet which he called at district press club in Karwar.

Speaking to reporters, he said, Anantkumar Hegde is a Loafer and a useless MP. Asnotikar further said that in Hubli, somebody had hoisted the tricolor. But Hegde has claimed with RSS leaders that he has hoisted it. He also accused Hegde of applauding himself within RSS leaders. 

"Anantkumar has slapped everybody including former minister Vishweshwarayya Hegde Kageri with slippers. Even a doctor was stabbed by him. So, I should not speak about such a Loafer", he added.
