Ranya Rao becomes the latest victim of Yatnal’s vulgar comments- Week

BIJAPUR MLA BASANGOUDA PATIL YATnal courted a controversy and aroused ultrasound following his observations about actress Kannada, Ranya Rao, who is in police custody in a case of gold smuggling.

Ranya Rao was arrested at Bengaluru airport, with gold bars that weighed 14.2 kg, which were hidden in her clothing while flying from Dubai. The golden bars of external origin are worth 12.56 crore Rs. The reports suggested that she received the help of her stepfather and DGP K Ramachandra Rao.

Yatnal claimed that there were laps by customs officials, adding that Raany Rao “had gold all over his body, hiding him wherever he has holes.”

Playing to expose the ministers who are involved in smuggling in the next assembly session, Yatnal said he has details about them.

“We have collected complete information about its connections, which helped it to provide security authorization and how the gold was smuggled. I will expose everything in the session,” he said.

This comes after Karnataka Chief Minister DK SHIVAKUMAR, rejected the accusations of ministers’ involvement.

Yatnal, in 2023, named the former president of the Congress, Sonia Gandhi, “Vishakanya”, after which the electoral group sent a notification.

In 2020, Yatnal approved the cessation of the wedding scheme for poor women in the minority communities, saying that “those who want the scheme can go to Pakistan.”

In December 2024, the BJP issued a notification for Yatnal for public observations against the party’s state leadership.
