Bellary:
Sounding the poll bugle in Karnataka, where assembly elections are due later this year, Union Home Minister Amit Shah urged the people to give former chief minister BS Yediyurappa a chance to form a corruption-free government.
He said that Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) are dynastic parties and such parties can never work for the welfare of the people.
Addressing a “Vijay Sankalp Samasav” in Karnataka’s Bellary, the Home Minister said, “BJP is fighting for an absolute majority in Karnataka. The people of Karnataka are determined to make the lotus bloom again. On one hand Modi ji’s BJP And on the other hand, it is Rahul Baba’s tukde tukde gang Congress.”
Shri Shah said in ‘Vijay Sankalp Samavsh’ that Congress and JDS will never be able to benefit the common people and will work for the upliftment of those living in poverty.
“Give Yediyurappa a chance and we will give you corruption free government. Congress and JDS are dynastic parties and such parties can never work for the welfare of the people. Every vote given to JDS will benefit Congress party, and Every vote will count.” Voting for Congress will benefit Siddaramaiah and his ATM government in Delhi.”
He targeted the infighting and differences in the Congress.
Mr Shah said, “There is only one position of CM. Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar are fighting with each other for this. This fight will not help the people of the state. If the welfare of Karnataka is to be done, then only BJP government in the state I have to be formed, only then the state will develop.”
Hitting out at the opposition that abrogation of Article 370 would lead to bloodshed, the Home Minister said, “Rahul Gandhi claimed on abrogation of Article 370 that it could lead to bloodshed. dare not.”
He further said that the Popular Front of India (PFI) was banned by the Modi government.
“However, when the Congress was in power, 1,700 cases against the PFI were withdrawn,” he added.
Karnataka elections are likely to be held in April-May 2023.
