BJP-RSS regime has anti-India, anti-people agenda: Karnataka CM
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has raised serious questions over what he said the massive security failure over Pahlgam incident and Sangh Parivar’s anti-India agenda.
According to Kashmir Media Service, addressing a gathering in Belagavi, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that the Congress will never bow down to the threats of the BJP and RSS. He said this after his speech was disrupted by the BJP women workers.
“I have the strength to face all of you publicly. Our workers have the same strength. We will neither bow down nor yield to the hollow threats of the BJP and RSS,” the Chief Minister said.
Siddaramaiah said that there is “anti-national” governance and “anti-people” actions by the BJP, and expressed strong anger at the BJP workers who interrupted his speech.
“When Indians were sacrificing their lives fighting against the British, what were you Sangh Parivar members doing? Why didn’t you participate in the freedom struggle? What were you doing at that time?” He described the Pahalgam incident as a massive security failure of the Modi government. “Shouldn’t we, Indians, question your failure to protect our people? And if we question you, you disrupt the event?” he asked.
He added that for 52 years after India’s independence, RSS did not even hoist the Indian national flag over its office. “Aren’t you ashamed of that?” he said. He further said that from the freedom struggle to the building of modern India, what contribution has the BJP or the Sangh Parivar made to the country?
“Without any shame, you speak about patriotism. Apart from dividing Indian society, what have you contributed to India all these years? Tell the people of the country,” he said.
The BJP women workers disrupted the speech of Siddaramaiah at a protest meeting organised by Congress in Belagavi city against the Modi government’s alleged price hikes, anti-people policies, and anti-national administration.
