Accusing the Congress government in Karnataka of communally polarising the state, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Sunday said the Siddaramaiah administration fooled the Muslim community with the promise of reservation in jobs and education sector.
“Congress government here wants to divide Karnataka community to rule. I received information that even though there is no such regulation in the constitution, Muslim community here was befooled with reservation which was later out ruled by the Court,” Singh was quoted by ANI as saying during a BJP rally in Bengaluru.
Questioning the delay in solving the murders of Paresh Mesta, an 18-year-old youth in Uttar Karnataka, and journalist Gauri Lankesh, Singh said the culprits will be punished once BJP forms the government in Karnataka.
“Paresh Mesta was recently killed. What this government is doing in these murder cases? Gauri Lankesh was killed. I want to assure Karnataka public that when our government is formed, we will probe her death from all angles, culprits will be punished. We won’t save anyone,” he said.
Targetting the newly elevated Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Singh said: “I want to congratulate him (Rahul Gandhi) but also ask, did the fire of communalism, terrorism and Naxalism in India erupt due to BJP’s policies? Did fire erupt in Kashmir due to BJP’s policies? If someone formed governments by setting fire, it is Congress. BJP is trying to douse it.”
He also announced that the BJP will be fighting the upcoming state assembly elections under the leadership of former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa.
