Bengaluru, Oct 21: The Bharatiya Janata Party has described the alliance between Congress and Janata Dali (Secular) in Karnataka as a mission to save the existence of two families –Gandhi family of the Congress and H D Deve Gowda family of JD(S).

“Congress has lost confidence to face BJP. in many constituencies they had to import candidates belonging to other constituencies. On the other hand, the family-run party (JDS) doesn’t even have its existence beyond three districts. With little choice left, they had to join hands to face us,” the BJP tweeted, reacting to show of unity by the leaders of the two alliance partners.

“The fact of the matter is that these two family-run parties have come together to save the existence of one family here in Karnataka and another family in Delhi. A desperate attempt to save their existence will be stalled by voters of Karnataka,” the BJP said.

The saffron party also accused the Congress of being communal and trying to divide the Hindu society.

“Deve Gowda family & Congress says they have come together to defeat communal forces. Reality is @DKShivakumar had, a couple of days back, openly admitted that his Congress govt was hell bent on dividing Hindu society, so ideally it’s Congress that’s communal & they have accepted it,” it stated.

Bengaluru, Apr 14: The Congress in Karnataka on Tuesday welcomed the extention of the COVID-19 lockdown till May 3, though it flayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not announcing any programme to support the slowed down economy.

Reacting to the lockdown extension, Congress president D K Shivakumar said it was much needed to control the virus but expressed his displeasure for not offering any relief measure to uplift the economy which is witnessing slump.

"We had expectation that some package would be offered but that was not done. The manufacturing sector, service sector, agriculture sector and even the medical sector was looking for some relief but that was not the talking point of the Prime Minister," Shivakumar told reporters.

However, he maintained that the party would cooperate with the Centre in its fight against COVID-19.

Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah said he was "disappointed" that there was no programme announced to improve the economy, which is at the lowest level in 30 years.

"The economy has collapsed. Never ever in 30 years it had witnessed such a downfall. Industries are closing down.

Agriculture in bad shape. poeple have no money. Villages are in distress," the former chief minister said.

He opined that Modi should have make some announcement with regard to economic programmes and assistance to the weaker section.

"Labourers today are on the streets. Their programmes do not touch them. People had lots of expectations which are now meaningless," Siddaramaiah said.

However, he underlined that he does not oppose the lockdown and appealed to the people to support it wholeheartedly.
