Bengaluru: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president DK Shivakumar on Thursday, July 15 challenged state BJP president, Nalin Kumar Kateel for a debate on the performances of the BS Yediyurappa regime versus the Congress government headed by Siddaramaiah on any media platform of his choosing.
Shivakumar was reacting to state BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel’s allegations on Siddaramaiah’s administration.
Defending Siddaramaiah’s administration, Shivakumar stated that the Congress leader had implemented 95% of the promises made in the party’s manifesto during the assembly polls and thus remained true to words.
“Let state BJP President come for a debate on this, I am ready for a it with the state BJP chief at any media platform at any time,’’ he dared.
“He said that Siddaramaiah, who took charge as chief minister on Basava Jayanti gave a good administration. But musical chair contest is going on for the chief mister post within BJP,” he taunted.
Referring to the fuel price hike, he said the party staged the first phase of protest against it recently.
“Common people would suffer further if the price is not reduced. The discussions on the next level of agitation are going on at the national level,” he said.
He added that he would hold a meeting with state leaders soon, and also made it clear that the party would intensify its agitation.
He said that many communities are in deep trouble due to the pandemic and lockdown.
“People of many communities including Banjara are in deep trouble. But the government is not bothered about them,” he said.
