KPCC working president Satish Jarkiholi has alleged that the law and order situation in the State had completely collapsed under the BJP rule and the Home Minister seemed least bothered when people were being killed.
Speaking to presspersons in Gokak of Belagavi district on Saturday, he alleged that instead of maintaining law and order situation, the BJP government was trying to make use of the killings for getting political mileage in preparation for the next Assembly election.
Mr. Jarkiholi said that even in cases of murder, discrimination was being made as Hindu and Muslim. “If BJP worker gets killed, ₹25 lakh is announced as compensation, but if a person of another religion gets killed, not a single rupee is paid. However, Congress will not stage agitation over this issue. Instead, it will create awareness and people themselves will stage protest,” he said.
