Siddaramaiah withdrew cases against PFI cadres to disturb peace: Nadda

“The Congress does not want peace in society. For them, there should be division. The Congress has been following vote bank politics and politics of convenience,” he alleged.

The Congress, he said, was not inclined towards governance or taking the country and Karnataka forward.

“Sowing division among people, division of society, corruption, non-governance and divide and rule are the basic traits of the Congress. It is only under the BJP that Karnataka has grown and will grow in the future,” the BJP president said.

Claiming that Karnataka faced constant power cuts during the Congress rule, he said that the only person who had power then was Siddaramaiah. “You cut off his power and should continue doing so (in the coming election),” he said.

He said the BJP is the only party in the country which has the ideological background, cadre base, and mass following. He said, almost all the other political parties in the country, including the Congress, are family or dynastic parties, while for the BJP, the party itself is a family.

Nadda, who arrived in Mangaluru on Sunday evening, is on a three-day visit to the poll-bound state. After the rally in Byndoor, he is scheduled to attend a rally at Belur on Tuesday, before returning to Delhi. Assembly elections in Karnataka are due by May.
