Kalburagi: Former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Sunday asserted that he doesn’t need certificate of being a patriot from the followers of the murderer of a patriot like Mahatma Gandhi. He was referring to Nathuram Godse who killed Mahatma Gandhi.

He was speaking at a by-election campaign rally at Chincholi on Sunday. He said “The party which made the freedom struggle and leaders of whom were jailed during freedom struggle is now being handed certificate of patriotism. That’s the irony happening right now”.

Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi sacrificed their lives for this country. Show me a single leader of BJP who has laid down his life for the country. These BJP people handing certificates of patriotism today are the fake patriots”

“Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Moulana Azad and others languished in jails during freedom struggle. Can anyone name any BJP or RSS leader who was with them in the jail during freedom struggle. We can then accept the patriotism of their party” Siddaramaiah stressed.

Yeddiyurappa, Katta Subramanya Naidu, Janardhan Poojary and Amit Shah all these people went to jail to sleep? Do you still want to vote for BJP? Narendra Modi who calls himself a patriot is dividing the country on the lines of religion, community and castes. He is an anti-national”
