The results of the general elections to the Karnataka Assembly is the ‘beginning of the end’ for the BJP, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) headquarters secretary Durai Vaiko here on Saturday.
Greeting All India Congress Committee (AICC) leader Rahul Gandhi for the role he played in electioneering in Karnataka, Mr. Durai said the victory should not be seen as a win for the State but the mood of the people in the country showing the doors to the BJP, ‘the fascist rulers’.
In a bid to divide the people, the BJP, in a last minute effort to win the hearts of the people, announced a 4% cut in Other Backward Classes reservations for Muslims and promised to give it to the Lingayats and Vokkaliga people. This was nothing but a tactic to create enmity within the community and spoil harmony, he said and hailed the voters of Karnataka for neglecting the BJP’s offers.
