Bengaluru: Former Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Thursday, April 9 slammed the BJP for its alleged pettiness at the time of the coronavirus pandemic, saying the party was distributing relief materials with pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and an MLA.

In a series of tweets where he shared the photographs of posters on the relief material for the migrant labourers and poor people, Kumaraswamy dubbed the distribution of relief material as a shameless individual publicity campaign.

“BJP’s pettiness is worse than the disease itself. Some leaders have an eye for votes even when homeless poor suffer. Is the Government relief intended only for BJP supporters? Will the PM answer?” he tweeted.

He further said, “Vote mongering by some BJP leaders in times of pandemic. Shameless individual publicity campaign on government’s relief material to construction workers.”
