The BJP on Sunday hit out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi for not speaking about the drinking water problem in Kolar and Chikkaballapur during his tour in these districts recently.
"Rahul has been indifferent to the drinking water problem of these parched districts. This is a great betrayal," she stated. Rahul toured the two districts as part of the last leg of his Janaashirvaada Yatre in the state.
The Congress government had promised to complete the Yettinahole drinking water project soon after coming to power. But all that the government has done is procure pipes which are lying unused. This was done to get commission. The government is not serious about implementing the much-awaited project, Shobha charged.
The Siddaramaiah government has not withdrawn cases filed against the farmers who were agitating for irrigation projects. Instead, it has withdrawn cases filed against members of the minority communities. This is nothing but vote-bank politics, she charged.
