BENGALURU: Accusing the All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi of spreading misinformation about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP national general secretary in-charge of party affairs in Karnataka, Muralidhar Rao, on Sunday described it as a diversionary tactic to cover up the failures of Siddaramaiah government.
“Rahul Gandhi has no courage to reply to the questions raised by the BJP pertaining to the collapse of law and order, democracy being in danger in Karnataka as Siddaramaiah government has turned into Goonda Raj, mal-administration, killing of innocent youths by anti-national elements, and thousands of farmers’ suicides in Congress regime. This might invite the wrath of the people in the coming assembly elections. The Siddaramaiah government is in exit mode. That is why Rahul has adopted diversionary tactics,” Muralidhar Rao said.
Rao challenged Rahul for a debate on 60 years of Congress rule and four years of Modi regime. He urged Rahul to give a “credible and convincing explanation” about the “Goonda Raj” prevailing in the state due to the alleged high-handedness and an attitude of extra-constitutional authority of the ruling Congress MLAs and their supporters.
