Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that the security breach during Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam amounts to negligence and dereliction of duty by the Centre and the State.
Speaking to mediapersons at Periyapatana in Mysuru district on January 24, Mr. Siddaramaiah echoed the views of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, who has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah complaining of security lapses at Rahul Gandhi’s yatra in Assam, and expressed similar concerns.
Mr. Siddaramaiah said it is the duty of the Centre and the Assam government to provide security to Rahul Gandhi. The Nehru family faces security threats, and lapses in security amount to failure in discharging duty and dereliction of duty on the part of the government, he added.
