The war of words between Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) president Amit Shah and Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah continued on Wednesday, as the two parties prepared for state assembly election later this year in the only large state still ruled by the Congress.
At the BJP’s Parivarthan Yatra at Holalkere in Chitradurga district, about 240km from Bengaluru, Shah targeted the Congress government on alleged corruption, misappropriation of funds and recent killings of right-wing workers. No section of the society, be it farmers, women, rural population or youth, was happy with the current dispensation, Shah said at the event.
“The only section of people who are happy with the Siddaramaiah government is the Congress worker. Corruption is rampant and inefficiency at all levels of governance is in abundance. This government rightly deserves to be thrown to the dustbin of history,” Shah said in a statement issued post the rally on Wednesday.
