Yediyurappa’s ‘22 seat in LS Election’ statement backfires; invites criticism from all corners
Siddaramaiah calls it ‘Shocking and disgusting’
Bengaluru, Feb 28: Ever since former Karnataka CM BS Yeddyurappa made the controversial remark, politicising the terror attack in Pulwama and retaliation from India air force, people across the country have expressed their anger and dissent over the BJP’s state president.
Netizen expressed their resentment on social media against Yeddyurappa for using the sacrifice of brave soldiers who laid down their lives for the country, for political gains.
In his tweet, former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that he condemn the political greediness of Yeddyurappa who is dreaming of getting election benefits out of the death of soldiers. While tears from the family members of the martyrs did not yet stope rolling, he criticised.
Calling the statement ‘shocking and disgusting’ Siddaramaiah added “It is unfortunate that @BJP4India is calculating electoral gains even before the dust has settled. No patriot shall derive such sadistic gains over soldiers' death, only a anti-nationalist can”
KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao also said that the statement of Yeddyurappa on politicising the Jammu and Kashmir issue was unfortunate and condemnable.
Yeddyurappa's statement
On Wednesday, Yeddyurappa said in Chitradurga that "after 40 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been giving a befitting reply to Pakistan in retaliation to Pulwama attack on our soldiers. One fighter jet of Pakistan was already shot down. Modi had said that he would take revenge for every drop of blood of 44 soldiers and is doing it. People including opposition parties have welcomed the retaliation on Pakistan. Youth have also enjoyed it and this would help BJP to win 22 seats in forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in the state" which stirred a nation-wide controversy calling for harsh criticism from all corners.
Shocking & disgusting to understand #BJPsPlot4Vote. It is unfortunate that @BJP4India is calculating electoral gains even before the dust has settled. No patriot shall derive such sadistic gains over soldiers' death, only a anti-nationalist can.
