He also criticised Varuna Congress candidate Siddaramaiah and alleged that Congress leaders have been utilising the Constitution and Dr Ambedkar as weapons for their selfish gains.

They are claiming that KPCC president has the chance of becoming the next CM. What will happen to the state, if a person, who is facing CBI probe over Rs 6.5 crore hawala money and is on bail, becomes the chief minister?, he asked.

Commenting on AICC president Mallikarjuna Kharge, Prasad said, he is an opportunist. He cannot be without power. He is adorning the post of AICC president, which may collapse any time. The Congress party is in a pathetic situation, he said.
