"I Warn You...": Siddaramaiah To BJP As Bharat Jodo Yatra Enters Karnataka

Welcoming the march and addressing a gathering here, the former Chief Minister said the yatra is to highlight various problems plaguing the country.

As Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' entered Karnataka on Friday, senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah warned the BJP against trying to obstruct it and said police officers colluding with the ruling party would be taught a befitting lesson.

Welcoming the march and addressing a gathering here, the former Chief Minister said the yatra is to highlight various problems plaguing the country.

"There's unrest in the country. There are many problems. Corruption is rampant. There's a 40 per cent commission government in Karnataka," the Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly said.

Mr Siddaramaiah called upon people to make the yatra a success and claimed that the BJP is "not able to see this event happen in the state."
