BJP, RSS attacking democracy, spreading hatred & violence: Rahul Gandhi in poll-bound Karnataka
BHALKI, KARNATAKA: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the ruling BJP and RSS of attacking democracy and spreading hatred and violence in the country.
He also appealed to the people to support the Congress and ensure that the party wins at least 150 seats in the May 10 Assembly polls in Karnataka, and comes to power with a full majority.
"Bidar is Basavanna's (12th century social reformer) 'karma bhoomi'. If someone first spoke about democracy and showed the path towards democracy it was Basavanna. It is sad that today across the country, people from RSS and BJP are attacking democracy," Gandhi said.
Addressing a public meeting here, he alleged that BJP and RSS are attacking Basavanna's ideals of- equal partnership, equal opportunities, and that everyone should move ahead together.
"They are spreading hatred and violence in Hindustan, and they are taking away money from poor and weaker section people and giving it to two or three rich people," he added.
AICC General Secretaries K C Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala (in-charge of Karnataka), KPCC working president and candidate from Bhalki Assembly seat Eshwar Khandre were among those present.
Expressing confidence about the Congress coming to power, Gandhi said the party government's first cabinet meeting will take a decision on implementing its poll guarantees.
He said the Congress will not make false promises like Prime Minister Narendra Modi did regarding depositing Rs 15 lakh in every bank account, and war against black money, among others, and will fulfill its promises immediately after coming to power.
"Whoever becomes the Chief Minister of Karnataka, will convert guarantees into law, on the first day after coming to power," he added.

This 40% PayCM propaganda by Scumgress is total make believe Toolkit fakery boolsheet…All Manufactured Toolkit propaganda…<br/>• Heavy reliance on 40% PayCM campaign had two parts – Part one being the Adani-Modi tie up to pain center being corrupt and the other half relied heavily on Congress Karantaka BJP concoting this 40% makebelive fake Toolkit propaganda.<br/>• With NCP Chief Pawar coming out pronouncing that this Adani-Hidneburg affair as being farce, one half of that Congress propaganda has collapsed. Congress can keep drumbeating on that for all they want and it is totally pointless, worthless and waste of time just as any of their other campaign on Rafale or Pegasus. It will only hurt Congress and they will lose their credibility, if there is any left…<br/>• 40% PayCM propaganda campaign is collapsing on its weight because of overuse of the card – Now people are beginning to question this because too much suspicion because of overstreesing and its overuse. Now people understand that is all a fabricated stuff:<br/>o Contractor Santosh Patil claims – 40%<br/>o Contractors Association claims – 40%<br/>o Lingayat seer Dingaleshwar Swamy – 40%<br/>o Virupaksha Madal/Prashanth Madal Sting operation – 40%<br/>o PayCM Propaganda by Scumgress – 40%<br/>o Private unaided schools associations – 40%<br/> All making exacty same accusations at different points of time and all following the same pattern to target ministers to build their case and make accusations – The whole stuff presents itself as being totally made and farcical and all done as a part of a planned Toolkit propaganda work. This really says that Scumgress had to invent corruption of BJP in order to blame them on it!<br/>It just exposes Congress as a criminal mafia operation that is willing to do anything to prop up their criminal mafia bosses Gandhinos…<br/>Congress – Hasta la Vista…Byeeeeyeee…Read allPost comment
