Attack program of BJP, JD(S) organized by ‘fake Gandhis at tax payer’s expense’

The opposition BJP and JD(S) criticized the ongoing centenary celebrations of the Indian National Congress held in Belagavi in ​​1924 as a “party event” which was organized “at the expense of taxpayers”.

In Bengaluru, BJP state president BY Vijayendra declared that “there is no moral right to speak about Mahatma Gandhi or BR Ambedkar” which will see the party stage a dharna in front of Mahatma Gandhi’s statue on Friday in protest at an event to be celebrated. .

In Mandya, Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel HD Kumaraswamy lashed out at the Congress and said the Belagavi conference was being celebrated by “dummy Gandhis at taxpayers’ expense”.

Mr. Kumaraswamy said that although the government was spending crores of rupees for the centenary celebrations under the chairmanship of Mahatma Gandhi, the festival posters were filled with images and cutouts of “fake Gandhis”, he added. .

Mr. Kumaraswamy said he had no objection to any celebrations or programs in memory of Mahatma Gandhi as he played a vital role in ensuring India’s independence. “But the real question is whether the Congress in Karnataka can envision or imagine the concept of Rama Rajya as envisioned by Mahatma Gandhi,” Mr. Kumaraswamy said.

Mr. Kumaraswamy mined the Siddaramaiah government and said it was chanting the mantra of guarantee schemes day and night. “We have no objection to this and have no objection if an additional Rs 2,000 is disbursed under various schemes to the beneficiaries, burdening the people with additional taxes,” asserted Mr. Kumaraswamy.
