Lifting weekend curfew: Congress criticizes govt’s move
Team Udayavani, Jan 21, 2022, 6:30 PM IST
Bengaluru: Congress party in Karnataka took to Twitter to criticize the state government’s latest move to withdraw the weekend curfew on Friday.
Congress accused the government of imposing the weekend curfew to “control” its Mekedatu Padayatre and not to stop the spread of Covid in the state.
A tweet in Kannada on the party’s official handle read “5 thousand Covid Cases – Weekend Curfew… When 50 Thousand Covid Cases – Weekend Curfew Returns!… The curfew was enacted not to control the corona, but to control the Padayatre!”
“@BJP4Karnataka has mocked the people for political interest and should seek people’s forgiveness,” the party demanded.
5 ಸಾವಿರ ಕೋವಿಡ್ ಕೇಸ್ಗಳಿದ್ದಾಗ – ವೀಕೆಂಡ್ ಕರ್ಫ್ಯೂ
50 ಸಾವಿರ ಕೋವಿಡ್ ಕೇಸ್ಗಳಿದ್ದಾಗ – ವೀಕೆಂಡ್ ಕರ್ಫ್ಯೂ ವಾಪಸ್!
ಕರ್ಫ್ಯೂ ಜಾರಿಗೊಳಿಸಿದ್ದು ಕರೋನಾ ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದಲ್ಲ, ಪಾದಯಾತ್ರೆ ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಅಷ್ಟೇ!
ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಹಿತಾಸಕ್ತಿಗಾಗಿ ಜನರನ್ನು ಗೋಳಾಡಿಸಿದ @BJP4Karnataka ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಜನರ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳಬೇಕು.
