Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah took a jibe at the BJP saying that none of its leaders participated in the freedom struggle, and they were only beneficiaries of India’s independence.
Noting the contribution of first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru to the country’s independence and development of modern India, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the BJP leaders’ only job is to criticise Nehru for political gain. “The BJP leaders have no faith in democracy and the Constitution. The BJP has no qualification to rule the country,” he said.
The Chief Minister paid floral tributes to Nehru on his 134th birth anniversary on November 14, 2023, at the State Secretariat, and later at the Congress party’s office in Bengaluru, along with Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar and other party colleagues.
