Former Karnataka chief minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah has launched a scathing attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) calling its leaders ‘Talibanis’ and from Hitler’s ‘vamsha’ (genealogy).
Claiming that it’s actually the RSS that is running the administration in Karnataka, Siddaramaiah asked people to be careful about the saffron party in the state.
“BJP has a factory of lies with them, they only produce and market lies. We can relate it to Goebbels theory that was under Hitler rule. Hitler had a minister called Goebbels (Paul Joseph Goebbels) for spreading false propaganda,” PTI quoted the Congress leader as saying.
Siddaramaiah made the remarks during an event to distribute ration kits to poor families and relief cheques to families that lost someone due to COVID-19. The event was organised by Congress MLA Dinesh Gundu Rao, on the eve of his father and former CM late R Gundu Rao’s birthday.
‘BJP comes to power through backdoor’
He also accused the ruling BJP of coming to power through the ‘backdoor in Karnataka as they don’t get the blessings of the people.’ BS Yediyurappa brought his party to power by poaching our MLAs through “Operation Kamala”; now they have removed him from the chief minister post, he alleged.
“Now Basavaraj Bommai is the chief minister, he is made the CM by RSS and Yediyurappa, he has to abide by them. With BJP’s mask RSS does the driving (of administration),” the Congress leader added.
The former Karnataka CM further claimed that the saffron party and the RSS did not have Mahatma Gandhi or Ambedkar’s photo at their offices for long.
Siddaramaiah hits out at PM over unemployment
Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he accused him of not fulfilling the promise on job creation.
“They are now playing the drama of embracing these national icons.” “The BJP people are experts in telling lies, Narendra Modi (Prime Minister) says Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas. Is there a single Christian or Muslim in his cabinet? Look at the way they perform the drama,” Siddaramaiah said.
