Bommai mocks Rahul, Priyanka campaigns in Karnataka, says its beneficial for BJP
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai mocked the Congress party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi's campaigning in the state, saying that their campaign never resulted in victory for the Congress.
Speaking at a rally for BJP candidate Basavaraja Handri in Yamakanamaradi, the Chief Minister said that wherever the Gandhi siblings campaigned for the Congress, the party had experienced defeat. He declared that the upcoming Assembly elections would be historical and that only those who do not desire a progressive government would vote for the Congress.
Bommai touted the accomplishments of the "double-engine" government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, such as constructing 6,000 km of roads at a cost of Rs 60,000 crore, doubling the Belagavi-Kudachi railway line, and implementing the Kisan Samman Yojana.
He also criticised the Congress party for corruption during their administration, highlighting former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's comments on the prevalence of corruption.
Bommai claimed that his government had hiked the reservation for people from SC/ST communities and provided internal reservation, which the previous Congress government had failed to do. The Chief Minister also noted that multiple sub-castes in the Muslim community were being given reservation under the OBC category.
