Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj and son of All India Congress Committee (AICC) president M. Mallikarjun Kharge Priyank Kharge has said that the BJP hatched a conspiracy to defeat the Congress in the AICC president’s home State and humiliate him.
“The BJP hatched the conspiracy to defeat the Congress in Karnataka and disgrace AICC president in his home State. But the people defeated the conspiracy by supporting the bhumi putra [son of the soil] and sent a clear message to the conspirators,” Priyank Kharge said.
He was addressing a public meeting in Kalaburagi on Tuesday to felicitate him and Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil who visited their home district [Kalaburagi] for the first time after being inducted into the Siddaramaiah Cabinet.
