Those fighting on the border are soldiers, not RSS workers: Dinesh Gundu Rao
Hubballi: BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa is playing politics on the blood of the country's soldiers. He is using the military operations for his own benefit, alleged KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao.
Addressing media representatives in the City on Thursday, he said that he had never seen such low-level politics in the country's history.
"Soldiers are sacrificing their blood for the protection of the country. An Air Force Wing Commander is in the custody of Pakistan. But, Yeddyurappa is stating that BJP would win 22 seats in the state as a result of the military operation. He (Yeddyurappa), who is doing political business on the blood of soldiers, must withdraw his statement. He must seek a public apology," he urged.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AICC President Rahul Gandhi are all patriots. BJP leaders, activists, should stop criticizing others, and stop saying 'go to Pakistan'. Those fighting on the country's border are soldiers and not the RSS workers," he said.
