INC behaves like Pakistan National Congress, alleges BJP's C T Ravi

Mysuru: Former minister and MLC C T Ravi alleged that the behaviour of the Indian National Congress (INC) is similar to that of the Pakistan National Congress (PNC). 

Addressing media persons in Mysuru on Thursday, Ravi alleged, “Pakistan has been using the statements of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah against India in the United Nations. Pakistanis do not have faith in their leaders. Their only hope is Rahul Gandhi. Besides, Siddaramaiah is becoming popular in Pakistan now.”

Karnataka is the ATM for Rahul Gandhi. The Congress leaders, who are in a helpless situation, have to praise the Siddaramaiah government. While Siddaramaiah is giving money to protect his post, Deputy CM D K Shivakumar is paying to earn the post, he alleged.

Ravi said, “It has been two years for the Congress in power. It is the dark days for the people and the state. During the two years tenure, 736 young mothers, and 1,100 newborns have died. Around 3,000 farmers have died by suicide. Were all these things celebrated?”

The credit of incurring the highest debt in Karnataka goes to Siddaramaiah. Out of Rs 7.64 lakh crore debt, Siddaramaiah alone has borrowed Rs 4 lakh crore, he criticised. “Congress is intimidating the opposition leaders by ‘Goondagiri’. Everything has an end. Democracy and rowdyism cannot go together. The police should not become puppets of the ruling party. If they do not protect the opposition leaders, who else will they protect” he asked.
