Leader of the Opposition in Karnataka Siddaramaiah on Tuesday termed the BJP as a party of the upper castes and the rich.
He underlined, “The party (BJP) has no concern for the downtrodden, the downtrodden classes.”
Addressing a joint press conference with Karnataka State President DK Shivakumar, he said that the saffron party has no idea of development. He said, “BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel asks to talk about love jihad, not development.”
BJP is doing politics through ‘Hindutva’. The party has come to know that those who were elected twice on emotional issues will not be elected this time. Hence, they are ready to spend in crores, he said.
“Congress is a party with a history of 135 years. BJP and JD(S) parties do not have respect for the Constitution. Congress is the party which gave freedom to the country. Only Congress can see all religions, castes on equal terms. ” ” They said.
BJP leaders have lot of money which they have made while in power. They are unnecessarily accusing others.”
State President Shivakumar said that earlier it was predicted that Congress would win 139 seats, now this number has crossed 140. That’s why now BJP is thinking that if the elections are delayed then it can benefit them.
