Congress stages protest against Shobha Karandlaje
Bengaluru, October 20: Activists of the district Congress Committee staged a protest against BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje near the Gandhi statue at Mourya Circle in the city on Saturday, condemning her insulting statement on former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Addressing the protesters, party leader S. Manohar said that Shobha Karandlaje has been using low level language against the Congress leaders just to get publicity. Her statement against former chief minister Siddaramaiah who ensured hunger-free Karnataka, transparent, corruption-free administration in his five years tenure would show her mental condition. Every person in the state knew that Shobha was the ‘poisonous snake’ in the BJP. Shobha Karandlaje who uses unparliamentary words against other leaders should speak about snakes and scorpions within her party, he said.
Congress Campaigning Committee President Janardhan, Leaders Saleem, Hemaraju, Parisara Ramakrishna, Raju, Ravishekar, Anand, Aditya, Rachana, Asha, Vijaya and others were present.
