BJP stages protest against state government's 'failure' on all fronts

The Dakshina Kannada district unit of the BJP staged a protest against the failure of the state government on all fronts, outside the deputy commissioner’s office here on Monday.

Addressing the protesters, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said the Congress government has failed to take action against the KPCC women’s wing president Lakshmi Hebbalkar and Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi even after disproportionate assets and cash were found during the Income Tax Department raids on their houses recently.

Siddaramaiah, who had promised of corruption-free administration, has failed fulfill his promise, he charged. He predicted, “Siddaramaiah will finish off the Congress. About 15 MLAs will tender resignation to Congress within two months and will bring an end to the Congress-led government in the state.”

The Congress leaders are involved in sand and land mafia. When B S Yeddyurappa was the chief minister, he had sanctioned funds for the development of the district. But now, the Congress leaders are thinking only of their personal benefit, he criticised.

He accused the chief minister of receiving kickbacks for the construction of a steel flyover in Bengaluru and Yettinahole project. The BJP will expose all the corruption of the Congress and will create awareness among the people, so that they will decide their fate in the next Assembly election.

Former minister Nagaraj Shetty, former MLA Yogish Bhat and others were present on the occasion.
