BJP leader K.S. Eshwarappa on Monday alleged that the Congress was making an attempt to make its senior leader M. Mallikarjun Kharge a ‘scapegoat’ by asking him to contest for All India Congress Committee (AICC) president’s poll.
Addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi, Mr. Eshwarappa said that Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, who held the party’s top posts earlier, failed to make any magic and stood responsible for the party’s debacle, and now the Congress found a scapegoat [Mr. Kharge] to take responsibility for failures, he added.
Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, Mr. Eshwarappa alleged the party that divided India on the basis of religion in 1947 due to power hunger is now talking about Bharat jodo.
