Sirsi: "No doctors in Banawasi hospital. People are facing severe difficulties due to it. Please arrange the doctors" asked a lady member of Banawasi Gram Panchayat to Uttar Kannada district MP & Union Minister Anantkumar Hegde. Responding to it spontaneously, Hegde has spit out another controversial word asking whether the MLA of the respective region has died or what?.

Anantkumar Hegde also denied answering to the reporters when asked him about Asnotikar's statement which was given on Saturday in Karwar. Later when he boarded his car, GP member requested to solve the doctors problem in the hospital saying  Hegde only is the MLA and also everything for us, please help. For this, Hegde replied saying that this matter is concerned to state government and not to the Central.

It shall be noted that MP Anantkumar Hegde had visited Banawasi for an inauguration ceremony of Kadambavana.
