“Sangh Parivar outfits like the ABVP, Bajrang Dal, BJP Yuva Morcha are all factories manufacturing lies. They create fake news and peddle lies only to benefit the BJP and advance the Sangh Parivar’s communal agenda,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said in Gadag on Sunday.
To a query on complaints by some ABVP leaders that students are facing huge inconvenience in commuting to schools and colleges as all the KSRTC buses are full of women availing free rides under the Shakti scheme, the Chief Minister said that the ABVP is the student wing of the BJP and its primary job is to spread lies.
To a question on whether the government planned to drop the Shakti scheme as funds have dried up, he said that necessary fund allocations have been made already.
