“The Bharatiya Janata Party’s strategy polls is nothing but telling lies and instigating communal sentiments. But, they cannot fool people always. Kannadigas have already come to know their cheap tactics,” said Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah.

He was addressing party workers at the launch of the election campaign in Hosapete on Saturday.

Training his guns on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for levelling “false allegations” against the Congress government in Bengaluru recently, Mr. Siddaramaiah remarked: “Mr. Modi should be ashamed of telling a bundle of lies and is unfit to continue as Prime Minister of the country.” Mr. Modi should have verified facts, particularly on crime rate, he said.

Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress leader in the Lok Sabha, took a dig at Mr. Modi for showing scant respect for women.

Referring to the Prime Minister “mocking” senior Congress leader Renuka Choudhary, he said: “BJP and its leaders have been exhibiting only lip sympathy towards women and the suppressed and oppressed classes. But people of Karnataka are peace loving and keen on development. They will not accept the BJP’s principles and ideologies,” he said.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.

Bengaluru, Jul 16: Former Prime Minister and JDS supremo H D Devegowda on Thursday gave a clarion call to party workers to take steps to strengthen the party from the grossroots level and to 'expose the failures' and 'anti-people' policies of BJP government both at the Centre and State.

In an open letter to the workers here, he alleged that the urgent need is to create awareness among the people about failure of the governments which have brought in policies which are deterrent to the poor and downtrodden.

BJP government headed by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in Karnataka has come up with an amendment to the Land Reforms Act,1961, which is 'against' interests of the small and medium farmers as even a non-agriculturist can purchase agriculture land, thus giving an opportunity to the rich people to 'exploit' illiterate farmers and purchase their land and use it for some other purpose after some time.
