KALABURAGI: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday lashed out at the Congress party and accused it of using the people just for “vote bank”, and ignoring them after that.

Bommai’s remarks came after KPCC president D K Shivakumar’s recent statement that Lingayats and Vokkaligas are not “beggars” to accept the reservation accorded by the BJP-led state government.

Addressing the roadshow in Sedam, CM Bommai said, “The Congress party has the habit of keeping Dalits inside the well, using them as vote banks and dropping them in the same place after getting their votes”.

He also attacked Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over his “poisonous snake” remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge has spoken very badly about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has compared him with a poisonous snake. But he has forgotten that the very same snake is wrapped around the neck of Lord Shiva”, Bommai further said.

The Chief Minister alleged that the Congress party is making such remarks because of “frustration” as it is “scared” of losing yet another election. “The BJP will come to power in the state if party candidate Rajkumar Patil wins the election from Sedam. The BJP has been in power in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It will come back to power in Karnataka as well. Because of this, the Congress party has become scared. This forced them to talk against Modi out of frustration”, he said.

He further said that the BJP will make Karnataka the number one state in the country. “The Congress party is giving all kinds of guarantees, including free bus travel for women, which the BJP government has already announced in the budget. Ours is a double-engine government and we are committed to improving the Kalyana Karnataka region. We will come back to power and make Karnataka the number one state”, Bommai further said. (ANI)
