MANDYA: Training his guns at the Congress, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that the people of the state will not forgive Congress leaders for displaying a soft corner towards terrorists and for talking about Tipu Sultan in order to appease the minority vote bank.
The CM made the remarks while addressing a Jan Sankalp Yatra on Friday which was attended by former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in Pandavapura. “Congress leaders talk about compassion to Tipu Sultan and terrorists. The people and law will not spare them if they support terrorists and Tipu Sultan”, Bommai said.
Hitting out at the erstwhile Congress-led government in the state, the CM said, “Under the ‘Anna Bhagya’ scheme of the previous Congress government, the rice was given by the Modi government, but the sack displayed only the photo of Siddaramaiah and the label on it was that of the Congress”.
“The Congress leaders have indulged in corruption in every department, involving the purchase of mattresses and pillows for the poor SC, ST children”, he said, alleging that the Congress had brought disrepute to the State. “Congress is dreaming of coming back to power in Karnataka, but the voters are awake,” Bommai said, underlining that the BJP will be voted back to power.
The BJP’s Jan Sankalp Yatra in Mandya district was also attended by Ministers K Gopalaiah, R Ashok, Dr K C Narayanagowda, MLC Ravikumar, BJP leaders Indresh and C P Umesh. (ANI)
