Strongly defending the action of suspending 10 BJP MLAs from the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the party was indulging in “goondaism” because it was “jealous” of the Congress government walking the talk by taking measures to implement its poll promises.
“It is most uncivilised and goonda behaviour by the BJP members. They are doing this out of frustration.... People are happy with our guarantee programmes. Some women are even offering puja in my name at Dharmasthala. But only the Opposition is unhappy and jealous,” the Chief Minister told the Assembly.
