At Janaspandana, Siddaramaiah becomes the prime target

In an attempt to counter the Congress’s aggressive campaign against alleged corruption by the BJP government, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai launched an offensive on Saturday, saying that they would soon expose the scandals of the Siddaramaiah-led Congress regime.

Setting the tone of the campaign ahead of the Assembly polls next year and the legislature session beginning on Monday, the twice-postponed Janaspandana event at Doddaballapur --- to mark three years of the BJP government in the State and one year of Mr. Bommai-led governance -- became a forum for BJP leaders to train their guns on Mr. Siddaramaiah and his regime.

The tirade, specifically focused on the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, comes about a month after the Congress leader’s massive birthday bash at Davangere that drew lakhs of people.
