On being questioned on inflation, he said that the inflation was due to international factors but denied speaking on it alleging that the “media distorts whatever he says on it.”

The minister further claimed that since the government in Karnataka did not work good enough, they were voted out. 

“However, it is worth mentioning that the Karnataka election results won’t hamper the BJP as usually, the government in the centre would still be theirs. It is because the government in the centre is usually the opposite the government that is elected in Karnataka”, he claimed.
