BENGALURU: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar has lashed out at the ruling BJP over ‘non-fulfillment’ of promises made by the BJP and also for the announcement made by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai that a Ram temple will be built by the government in Ramanagara district.
“Open the BJP manifesto. What have they done for farmers, power situation and many other promises made? It is not the duty of government to build temples and mosques”, the Congress leader said on Friday. “Does this have to be mentioned in the budget (referring to the Ram temple)”, Shivakumar questioned.
Commenting on Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement that the BJP will provide a corruption-free government in the state, the Congress leader said, “BJP has made this state the corruption capital of the country. Congratulations to Amit Shah who says he will give a corruption-free government in the state”,
Reacting to Shah’s statement that infighting is going on within the Congress, he said, “Are we doing wrestling here? What are B S Yediyurappa, C P Yogeshwar, Basavaraj Patil Yatnal, and all senior leaders speaking within the BJP? There is infighting within BJP only. What will they speak about us?” he said. (ANI)
