Karnataka has become ATM for Congress, Gandhi family, alleges BJP’s Vijayendra

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 5 (ANI): Karnataka BJP president BY Vijayendra targeted the Congress and the Gandhi family on Monday and accused them of failing to deliver the poll promises in the state.
Speaking to ANI during the 'Mysuru Chalo' padayatra jointly organised by the BJP and JD-U, Vijayendra hit out at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and alleged that he "ignored" many corruption cases.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) opposition alliance in Karnataka kicked off its 10-day 'Mysore Chalo' padayatra on August 3 from Kengeri in Bengaluru to Mysore over alleged MUDA and Valmiki Corporation scams. It reached Channapatna today.
"Congress party had promised the people of Karnataka that if they come to power they will provide good administration, good development, and corruption-free govt but this govt led by Siddaramaiah failed on all fronts. Farmers are suffering and the CM has ignored many corruption cases," Vijayendra said.
"This CM has become a puppet in the hands of Congress's high - command. Karnataka has become an ATM for the Congress party and the Gandhi family. So we are fighting this and we want this corrupt CM to be removed," he added.
Former Karnataka CM and Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy said, "We have already released all the documents in front of CM Siddaramaiah, he ran away from facing this issue. He can't face this issue individually. If he is innocent, why is he taking the help of ministers and high command? I am the puppet of Kannadigas, the charges against me (a puppet of BJP) is baseless."
However, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar slammed BJP's padayatra over the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam and said that they are trying to make an issue out of a non-issue. (ANI)
