JOIN USCongress leader Prof B K Chandrashekar on Saturday accused the Centre of tapping the phones of Congress leaders in Karnataka.
“The Centre is using a mobile company to tap the phones of Congress leaders. I learned about this from the mobile company. They asked me to inform our party president G Parameshwara about this,” said Chandrashekhar, who is also the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee vice-president.
Prof Chandrashekhar also defended the recent C-fore survey, which predicted a Congress victory in the 2018 Assembly election. “This organisation has been conducting surveys for the past 14 years. One should not unnecessarily cast aspersions on the survey,” he said.
BJP has lost agenda
“The BJP has lost direction. Their leaders have stopped communicating among themselves. Their Mission 150 has come to a halt. The BJP does not have any agenda ahead of the election. (BJP national president) Amit Shah came here and left. I think Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has to come here,” he quipped.
The BJP is unable to digest the Congress government’s performance, especially the farm loan waiver and the fight it is putting up in the Mahadayi river dispute, he added.
