“Congress leaders keep talking about death and dead bodies as the party is dead in some places and is dying in others,’’ Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister and BJP leader K.S. Eshwarappa said in Belagavi on Tuesday. He was responding to KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar who said that the BJP government had disrespected the memory of the former Union Minister Suresh Angadi, as it had failed in getting his body to Belagavi from Delhi. “Such leaders don’t know what they are speaking about, they just keep making meaningless statements,’’ he said. He also challenged Mr. Shivakumar’s charge that Belagavi city MLAs are engaged in corruption and are taking up to 25% commission in Smart City works.
