CHIKKAMAGALUR: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president J P Nadda on Friday lashed out at the Congress and said that 80 communal riots occurred during the Congress regime in Karnataka.

Addressing an election rally at Kalasa on behalf of Mudigere candidate Deepak Doddaiah, Nadda said, “Eighty communal riots occurred during the Congress government. Today, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has imposed a ban on the Popular Front of India (PFI)”.

Nadda pointed out that the BJP government led by B S Yediyurappa had filed 175 cases against the Popular Front of India (PFI), but the Siddaramaiah government withdrew the cases. Notably, the Centre had banned PFI in September last year and some members of the Social Democratic Party of India were arrested from Old Bhopal (Shahjehanabad) on suspiction of being in touch with the PFI.

“The BJP government built an airport at Shivamogga, but former CM Siddaramaiah tried to stall the work. Our government increased reservation by 2 per cent for SCs, STs, Vokkaligas and Lingayats, but Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar talk about rolling back the reservation if the Congress comes to power. The Congress is worried about Lingayats now, but treated Nijaningappa and Veerendra Patil badly”, Nadda remarked.

Asking people to vote for BJP in the coming elections for better results, Nadda said, “If you take the right decisions at the right time, then you get the right results. This election is about the future of development of the state.”
