Speaking at the valedictory function of the Suttur Jathra Mahotsava, CM said that a political party in India is expert in misusing religion for political gains and fooling people

He said the Congress government would not allow any party to divide society on caste and community lines, and would curb forces trying to create enmity and unrest among people.

He urged people to be weary of divisive forces and said it was inhuman to divide society for “political benefits”.

He also said he had lived up to the expectations of the public and fulfilled the promises made in the 2013 poll manifesto. Listing his government’s achievements, he said they had distributed over 1.8 lakh laptops to students who had passed PU, irrespective of caste.

Actually both BJP and Congress wont do anything that completely harm rival party. They are in good relation in background. Only poor brainless workers being scapegoats for them. In front of public they will oppose each other and and blame each other
