Cong ministers are corrupt... Cong ministers will join BJP: Nalin Kateel

February 20, 2017

Mangaluru, Feb 20: Even as the Karnataka unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has intensified campaign against ruling Congress party ahead of next year’s Assembly polls, Dakshina Kannada district unit of the saffron party on Monday staged a protest against the alleged corruptions of chief minister Siddaramaih led govt and party in the state.

A few dozens of BJP leaders and activists took part in the protest in front of the office of the deputy commissioner in the heart of the city.

Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and other firebrand speakers seized the opportunity to mock and ridicule Mr Siddaramiah while reiterating the “bribe to high command” allegations made against him by Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa.

Mr Kateel, who vociferously praised previous BJP governments of Karnataka, described the Siddaramaiah led cabinet as a bunch of corrupt and incompetent ministers. Ironically, he also said that many Congress leaders including ministers in the state (whom he called ‘corrupt’) will jump into BJP within a couple of months.

Predicting the end of the Congress government and party in Karnataka after 2018 Assembly polls, he said that Siddaramiah, who was a JD(S) leader in the past, is playing a crucial role in the destruction of the Congress party.

Former deputy speaker Yogish Bhat said that veteran leaders like Janardhana Poojary also have openly predicted the downfall of Congress under the leadership of a CM like Siddaramaiah. “We should appreciate the honesty of Mr Poojary who boldly pointed out the blunders of his party’s government,” he said.

BJP spokesperson Sulochana Bhat, district unit president of the party Sanjeeva Matandoor, former minister Nagaraj Shetty, former MLA Padmanabha Kottari were present among others.
