Building up tempo for the BJP’s poll battle for Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka, Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Chief Minister and Deputy CM of neglecting the interests of the State due to their power tussle, and trying to politicise the issue of drought assistance from the Centre.
“In Karnataka, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is busy trying to save his chair while Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar is busy trying to snatch the chair from the CM. The tussle is being witnessed on a daily basis. The Congress government is neither bothered about development of the State nor protecting the interests of people,” Mr. Shah alleged while addressing a convention of representatives from BJP’s Shakti Kendras (cluster of booths) from the Lok Sabha constituencies of Bengaluru North, South, Central, Rural and Chikkaballapura, at Bengaluru Palace Grounds on April 2.
