BENGALURU: Attacking the Congress which staged a protest in Bengaluru against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state, former chief minister B S Yediyurappa said the Congress will stop breathing after the Assembly polls.
“Congress means corruption. A few of their leaders like D K Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah are still breathing, but their breath will stop after the Assembly elections. The BJP will come back to power in Karnataka”, Yediyurappa told reporters.
The BJP leader took a jibe at former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah saying the Congress leader has been doing drama for fear of losing the upcoming Assembly polls. “Siddaramaiah is indulging in political drama, he will not contest from Kolar as he is bound to lose”, he added.
The Karnataka Congress held a massive protest across Bengaluru on Monday against the BJP government. The party raised slogans against alleged corruption by the BJP government in the state. Party workers carried placards of ‘Save Bengaluru’.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar and legislature party leader Siddaramaiah are among the leaders who participated in the protest.
“The youths are tired of BJP’s 40 per cent government. Jobs scams, lack of opportunities and hegemony of a corrupt minister… Change is written on the wall. Congress is the change”, tweeted Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala. (ANI)
