MANGALURU: Karnataka BJP president B Y Vijayendra said that the BJP will submit a memorandum to President Draupadi Murmu requesting to dissolve the 'anti-Hindu' government in Karnataka.
"Congress promised for corruption-free governance and came to power, but within one and a half years, people are fed up with the Karnataka government," said state BJP president B Y Vijayendra on Tuesday.
Addressing the reporters in Bantwal on the sidelines of a party program ahead of the bypolls, BY Vijayendra said, "The Siddaramaiah-led government indulged in rampant corruption, and it has met out injustice to the 'Ahinda' community by misusing the funds meant for the welfare of the Dalits."
"Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has agreed that there was a Rs 87 crore scam in the Valmiki Board. Siddaramaiah kept denying his role in the MUDA scam, but he has now confessed his wrongdoings by deciding to return the sites," he said.
Vijayendra further stated that the state government has not released funds for development works and even the ruling party MLA Raju Kage has publicly made a statement on lack of funds.
He also condemned the withdrawal of charges against those involved in riots in Hubballi. "Those who torched the police station and pelted stones at the police are being protected by the state government by dropping charges. We will hold a massive protest in Hubballi on October 25 in this regard," he added.
Meanwhile, Vijayendra exhumed confidence in their candidate, Kishore Kumar Puttur, of winning the upcoming bypolls seat, which was earlier represented by senior party leader Kota Srinivas Poojary.
To a query on Channapatna bypoll, Vijayendra said that the party is yet to decide on their candidate and national party leaders will decide on the candidature of C P Yogeshwar.
To another media query on Congress allegations on Prerana Trust receiving sites illegally, Vijayendra said the court has already ruled out any wrongdoings in the case.
BJP state co-incharge Sudhakar Reddy, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R Ashok, and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy were also present.
