Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President G. Parameshwara on Sunday said the Congress has been projected as "anti-Hindu" by the BJP and damaging the secular credentials of the party.

Addressing party workers on the occasion of the Congress Foundation Day, he said, “BJP is trying to paint the Congress as an anti-Hindu, which was totally false and baseless. The Congress is not anti-Hindu and it has been representing all sections and communities. The party has been upholding secular principles since its inception.”

Appealing to party workers to work as true ambassadors to counter the saffron party’s evil designs, he said, that party leaders should speak more on development schemes launched by the State government.

Terming the performance of the Modi government "zero", the KPCC chief said the Union Government had scrapped the Planning Commission which was envisioned by former Prime Minister late Jawaharlal Nehru.

Membership Drive:

He expressed dismay over the slow progress of the membership drive undertaken by the party and instructed ministers and the senior leaders to actively involve in the drive.

"When the BJP is going aggressively in enrolling members, Congress party’s performance is poor and it should be reversed". A four-five teams would be formed to tour the State for monitoring the membership drive, Mr. Parameshwara added.
