Karnataka will be afflicted with riots if Congress comes to power: Amit Shah
Bagalkote (KTK) (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said if the Congress comes to power in Karnataka, dynastic politics will be at an all-time high in the state and it will be 'afflicted with riots.'
The former BJP chief also said the development of the state will be in "reverse gear" if the Congress forms the government.
Seeking the people's mandate for "political stability" in Karnataka, which would vote on May 10, Shah said at a public meeting at Terdal in this district that only the BJP can lead the state towards a 'New Karnataka.'
"If the Congress comes to power, dynastic politics will be at an all-time high and Karnataka will be afflicted with riots," added Shah, one of the party's key poll strategists and campaigners.
"If the Congress comes to power by mistake then corruption will be all-time high and there will be 'appeasement'," said Shah, who is on a two-day tour of Karnataka to hold a series of public meetings, roadshows and review meetings with his party leaders.

Supreme Court rejects Indian Medical Association President's apology, asks for public apology
New Delhi: In a recent development, the Supreme Court has refused to accept the apology offered by the President of the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Dr. RV Asokan, regarding his comments made in a media interview concerning certain observations made by the Court.
Dr. Asokan appeared before the Court in response to a notice issued on an application by Patanjali Ayurved seeking contempt action against him. Despite conveying an unconditional apology to the bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah, the Court expressed dissatisfaction with his conduct.
Justice Kohli expressed disappointment, stating, "Dr. Asokan, with your experience, we would have expected more sense of responsibility from you." Justice Amanullah labeled Dr. Asokan's conduct as "unfortunate," equating it with Patanjali's behavior, for which the Court had already discarded an apology.
The bench questioned the sincerity of Dr. Asokan's apology, pointing out that he hadn't issued a public apology before appearing in court. Dr. Asokan emphasized his respect for the institution but faced further skepticism from the judges.
Despite pleas from IMA's counsel Senior Advocate PS Patwalia, the Court remained unwilling to accept Dr. Asokan's apology at this stage. Justice Kohli reiterated, "We are not at this stage inclined to accept the apology tendered by your client."
The controversy arose in a case filed by IMA against Patanjali Ayurved for allegedly making misleading claims and disparaging advertisements against the Allopathic system of medicine. The Court had initiated contempt proceedings against Patanjali Ayurved and its founders for continuing to publish misleading medical advertisements in violation of a previous undertaking.
The recent turn of events came after Dr. Asokan criticized the Supreme Court's observations in a press interview following the Court's focus on IMA's internal practices. This led to Patanjali seeking action against Dr. Asokan for his remarks against the Court.
