Siddaramaiah calls for a freedom struggle-like movement to dethrone BJP

Stating that there is a necessity of a non-BJP government in India to take the country on the path of development, uplift the poor and curb corruption, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said everyone should involve in another struggle like the Independence struggle to remove the BJP from power.

“Congress workers should work to ensure the party wins in the next Lok Sabha elections and Maharashtra Assembly elections. Congress workers should take oath to protect the Constitution and should be ready for all kinds of struggle to protect it. The change of Constitution should not be allowed. Only if the Constitution survives that we can live unitedly,” the Chief Minister told a gathering at a public function to felicitate him at Sangli in Maharashtra.

“Corruption is synonymous of BJP. The contractors’ association in Karnataka called the BJP government a 40% corruption government. It never works for the poor,” he said.
