Addressing the mass in poll-bound Karnataka, Amit Shah called both the Congress and JD(S) as 'parivaarvadi' (dynastic politics) and corrupt and urged the people of Mandya and Old Mysuru region to support the BJP and bring it to power with a majority in the state.
Ahead of the Karnataka Assembly Elections, Union Minister Amit Shah on Saturday gave a green signal to the state-ruled BJP to accommodate disgruntled leaders including KS Eshwarappa and Ramesh Jarkiholi to lay the groundwork for the poll campaigning, reports NDTV.
Shah chaired a high-level meeting with Karnataka with Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, state Home Minister Araga Jnanendra, BJP General Secretary and state in-charge Arun Singh, National General Secretary BL Santhosh, and National Secretary CT Ravi to discuss all the required groundwork.
On Friday, Shah called both the Congress and JD(S) as 'parivaarvadi' (dynastic politics) and corrupt and urged the people of Mandya and Old Mysuru region to support the BJP and bring it to power with a majority in the state.
The BJP is considered to be weak in the Vokkaliga-dominated Old Mysuru region, and is focusing on this belt to gain complete majority in 2023 Assembly polls.
"Enough of JD(S)-Congress, Congress-JD(S) this time Mandya, the Mysuru region should make BJP win with full majority. Congress and JD(S) are both parivaarvadi (dynastic politics) parties, they are corrupt pirates," Shah said.
Addressing a massive public meeting as part of the ongoing 'Janasankalpa Yatre' of the state BJP, he said, "We have seen administration of both parties, when Congress comes, Karnataka will become Delhi's ATM and when JD(S) comes it becomes ATM for a family. Repeatedly these two parties have through corruption have stopped Karnataka's progress."
