Sonia Gandhi in Karnataka says BJP stands fully exposed

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi attended a Congress delegates meeting in Tumkur, Karnataka and slammed BJP for the misrule in the state. She also asked the Congress delegates to prepare themselves for the coming assembly polls in the state. She was on a two-day visit to the state. Sonia Gandhi also had visited the drought-hit areas in the state and also had offered all possible help to the people in the affected areas.

“The BJP, the self-styled ‘party with a difference’, stands fully exposed. Its double standards on corruption are now known to all. It has made a mockery of governance. It has betrayed the mandate of the people. It has destroyed all that Karnataka has stood for and been known for”.

“It has shown scant respect for the rule of law. Eleven ministers have been forced out of office on corruption and other charges” added the Congress President.

Blaming BJP for not appointing Lokayukta in Karnataka, Sonia Gandhi said “Lokayukta The post of Lokayukta is still vacant after almost one year. This is in contrast to our determination to enact a strong Lok Pal Bill. Sadly, its passage to the Rajya Sabha has been held up by the BJP”.

The Congress President also recalled that under Congress governments, the state of Karnataka had showed the way in different areas and concerned that under BJP misrule, the state os slipping backwards.
