Taking exception to BJP leaders, including Bengaluru Central MP P.C. Mohan and Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya, sharing the dais with “rowdy” Sunil in Bengaluru, the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said the BJP and the RSS need such people to create unrest in society.
Fielding reporters’ queries at K.R. Pet in Mandya district near here on Tuesday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said Sunil was a known history-sheeter against whom there was a search warrant. Yet, the two MPs and other BJP leaders attended a programme organised by him, he lamented.
When his attention was drawn to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s defence of the BJP leaders and his claim that even Congress had leaders against whom history sheets had been opened, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the BJP, particularly Mr. Bommai, was suffering from a “disease” of pointing a finger at the Congress for all their faults. “Talk about your faults first,” he said.
He criticised the BJP leaders for sharing the dais with history-sheeters even after knowing their antecedents.
When Mr. Siddaramaiah’s attention was drawn to ‘Fighter’ Ravi’s association with the BJP, the Congress leader said the BJP and the RSS need such people to create unrest in society.
Responding to the BJP’s charge that even Congress leaders have been sent to jail, Mr. Siddaramaiah sought to ask the BJP where Home Minister Amit Shah had gone. He said Mr. Shah had spent more than three years in jail.
