Karnataka BJP dubs ruling party ‘Congress Gang’, launches online campaign

Bengaluru: The Karnataka BJP launched an online campaign against the ruling Congress, dubbing it the “Congress Gang”.

It mockingly appealed to the people to contact the Congress party leaders to execute contract killing, to commit murder, to issue threats and for abetting suicides in the state.

Attaching the office address of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee in its post, it asked the people to approach these leaders --(Deputy Chief Minister) D K Shivakumar to issue threats; (Former minister) Vinay Kulkarni for committing murder; (Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister) Priyank Kharge for supari (Contract) for abetting suicide; Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar for committing MLA’s murder. (Chief Minister) Siddaramaiah for farmers and officers’ deaths; (Health and Family Welfare Minister) Dinesh Gundu Rao for committing murder in hospitals; (Planning and Statistics Minister) D Sudhkar for attacking Dalits; (Hungund Congress MLA) Vijayananad Kashappanavar for attacking the police and (Karnataka  Housing Board Chairman) K M Shivalinge Gowda for using abusive language against the police officers.

BJP’s sarcastic post comes after the Congress posted a video clip of the Leader of the Opposition R Ashoka, accusing him of using abusive language against the police officers who tried to convince him not to protest at the Majestic Bus Stand after the government hiked bus fare by 15 per cent.
