M.G. Mahesh, spokesperson for the BJP State unit, alleged that Congress had been appeasing minorities and communal forces and sacrificing national interests to consolidate its vote bank.
“India has progressed in leaps and bounds in all sectors under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last 10 years. Congress is merely appeasing minorities and oppressing the majority,” he said, during his interaction with presspersons in Kalaburagi on Saturday.
When asked whether India progressed during the Congress regimes, Mr. Mahesh said that every government in the past had contributed to national deployment and added that the pace of development in those days was not as expected.
