Former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Wednesday told a meeting of Veerashaiva community in Mysuru that the Congress is engaged in a misleading propaganda that he was removed unceremoniously from the CM’s post and was insulted by the BJP. However, he said, the Congress has been spreading lies since he himself stepped down from the CM’s post and announced retirement from electoral politics, he clarified.
Mr. Yediyurappa told the community members not to give heed to the lies of the Congress and continue supporting the BJP, which has treated Lingayats with dignity and respect.
“Veerashaiva community always stood with me. I have told Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party president J.P. Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah that I will ensure the party’s victory in the elections for forming the next government in the State. For this, your support is valuable,” the former CM said while addressing the meeting in Krishnaraja constituency here.
