State has become a ‘goonda raj’ under Congress rule, charges Shettar

Former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar has alleged that under Congress rule Karnataka was becoming a ‘goonda raj’ like Uttar Pradesh was earlier, before Yogi Adityanath became Chief Minister.

Speaking to presspersons after visiting and consoling family members of Anjali Ambiger at Veerapur Oni here on Friday, Mr. Shettar said that the Congres-led state government had completely failed in maintaining law and order.

Mr. Shettar said that before Mr. Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh was a ‘goonda raj’. However after Mr. Yogi Adityanath became Chief Minister, he took stringent measures within the framework of existing laws to ensure law and order and peace. “However it is not known why Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is not taking any bold steps,” he said.
