Parameshwara hits out at BJP over Lenin statue removal
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president G Parameshwara on Tuesday mocked the BJP after a statue of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin was pulled down by a crowd in Tripura, where the BJP is set to form a government.
"A statue of communist leader Lenin has been demolished using a bulldozer in less than 48 hours in Tripura, thanks to BJP. This is the first accomplishment of the new government - unleashing violence," he tweeted.
The incident comes days after the BJP swept polls in Tripura, dislodging the Communist government after 25 years.
