Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Madhu Bangarappa likened the BJP leaders to the British and said that the saffron party always tried to poach legislators from different parties to grab power.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party should be renamed as British Janata Party. Just like the British came to India for trading, the BJP has always tried to make a backdoor entry by indulging in horse-trading to satisfy its hunger for power,” Mr. Bangarappa said.
Addressing presspersons in Kalaburagi on Friday, Mr. Bangarappa said that the BJP in Karnataka has never crossed 113 seats, majority mark required to form the government, as voters have not favoured the saffron party. So, the BJP always makes an attempt to poach legislators, he added.
