Siddaramaiah’s remark on Rahul Gandhi as PM face shows his mindset towards Dalits: Karnataka BJP

Rahul Gandhi Bharatiya Janata Party Mallikarjun Kharge Karnataka Lok Sabha

A day after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expressed that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will become the Prime Minister after the Lok Sabha elections, BJP State spokesperson Chalavadi Narayanaswamy hit out at Mr. Siddaramaiah terming him as “anti-Dalit”

“Though the leaders from other political parties including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal have proposed All India Congress Committee president Mallikarjun Kharge’s name for Prime Minister in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Mr. Siddaramaiah was trying to create rumblings within the party by saying Mr. Gandhi would be the PM face.

Though the CM projects himself as a pro-Dalit leader, his statement clearly shows he is an anti-Dalit who leaves no stone unturned to defeat Dalit leaders within the party,’‘ he said in Kalaburagi on December 29.
