Congress will complain to Election Commission of India against Union Home Minister Amit Shah for saying that there would be riots in Karnataka if the Congress came to power, party president Mallikarjun Kharge said on April 26.
“We will complain to ECI and also go to court,” Mr Kharge said at a campaign rally in Chikkodi in Belagavi district. “In a public rally in Terdal in Bagalkot district on April 25, Mr Shah warned the people that there would be riots if the Congress came to power. First of all, it is an absurd statement, coming from the Home Minister who is in charge of internal security. Secondly, what was he trying to imply? Did he imply that BJP would orchestrate riots if the Congress replaced them?”
He added,`”It is an insult to the people of Karnataka. It means that the people of this State are quarrelsome, and are planning to fight and engage in riots. That is not acceptable.”
