Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's address comes after Union Home Minister Amit said that if the Congress comes to power in Karnataka, dynastic politics will be at an all-time high in the state and it will be 'afflicted with riots'.
Ahead of the Karnataka elections slated on May 10, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday alleged that Rs 1.5 crore was "looted" from Karnataka. Addressing a a poll rally in Mysore, she said, "It is said Rs 1.5 lakh crore has been looted from Karnataka."
"What is most sad is the 40 per cent government commission that was there in the state looted you. They looted you without any shame," Vadra said while targeting the ruling BJP in the state.
Seeking to highlight various alleged scams, contractors' committing suicide, and contractors associations even writing a letter to the Prime Minister alleging scam, she said at a public meeting, "But there was no action, as many of those involved were associated with the BJP."
"You might have read about Rs 8 crore seized from the son of an MLA. Instead of investigating, the MLA carried out a parade."
She also expressed confidence about Congress coming to power after May 10 Assembly polls in Karnataka and taking the state on the path of development.
AICC General Secretary in-charge of Karnataka Randeep Singh Surjewala, former Minister H C Mahadevappa, and MLA Yathindra Siddaramaiah among others were present.
Commenting on the Amul versus Nandini row, Vadra said, Congress will strengthen Karnataka's 'Nandini' brand, and no cooperative will come from outside.
Gandhi's address comes after Union Home Minister Amit said that if the Congress comes to power in Karnataka, dynastic politics will be at an all-time high in the state and it will be 'afflicted with riots. "If the Congress comes to power, dynastic politics will be at an all-time high and Karnataka will be afflicted with riots," added Shah, one of the party's key poll strategists and campaigners.
Shah, who is on a two-day tour of Karnataka to hold a series of public meetings, roadshows and review meetings with his party leaders, added, "If the Congress comes to power by mistake then corruption will be all-time high and there will be 'appeasement'."
