Congress colluding with 'anti-national' forces in K'taka: Amit Shah

May 07, 2018 23:44

BJP President Amit Shah today alleged that fearing defeat, the Congress has colluded with "anti-national" Social Democratic Party of India and Popular Front of India in the Karnatkaa assembly polls.

He said the BJP and RSS lost their 24 workers in the last four years but the Siddaramaiah government "did not arrest the murderers."

Shah said once the BJP comes to power, it will send every culprit behind the bar even if they were hiding in the remotest corner of the world.

"Fearing defeat, the Congress government is sitting with the anti-national forces. They aren't ashamed to take the support of PFI and SDPI. JD-S has taken the support of (AIMIM chief Asaduddin) Owaisi," said Shah at an election rally in Nargund.

The SDPI is the political wing of Islamic outfit PFI.

Referring to the Mahadayi river water issue involving Karnataka and Goa, Shah said the river water would flow into the taps of every house and every field in North Karnataka within six months of his party coming to power.

Calling the Congress government 'anti-farmer', he said the 'ego' of chief minister Siddaramaiah was responsible for blocking the Mahadayi river from flowing in the Mumbai-Karnataka region.

"Congress is anti-farmer.I am asking you to form the BJP government here. Within six months we will bring the Mahadayi river water to entire Karnataka. Mahadayi river will flow intoyour taps and agriculture fields," he said.

He accused the Siddaramaiah government of remaining unperturbed even in the face of farmers committing suicide.

"The ego of Siddaramaiah government has bereaved the people of Mumbai-Karnataka region of Mahadayi river water. The chief minister of a state is in slumber where 3,500 farmers have committed suicide," Shah charged.

The BJP president told the crowd that the BJP will waive loan up to Rs 1 lakh either of cooperative bank or the nationalised bank once it comes to power. -- PTI
