Power Play: Make Us Win Or Will Cut Electricity, Congress MLA Tells Voters
NDTV
Raju Kage is an MLA from Kagwad in Karnataka.
In a show of power that is unlikely to go down well with voters, a Congress MLA from Karnataka has threatened people at a rally that he will ensure electricity is cut in their area unless his party wins by a huge margin in the Lok Sabha elections.
Campaigning for the Congress, Kagwad MLA Raju Kage was addressing people in his constituency in Belagavi district when he made the remarks. A video of his speech has gone viral and the BJP has attacked the Congress, claiming that the party thinks people are its slaves.
"I got fewer votes in some places. Forget about Shahpura. I won't talk much about it; if I do, worms will enter my mouth. If we don't get more votes, we will disconnect your electricity. Therefore, that shouldn't happen. Remember, I will stick to what I have said," Mr Kage says in Kannada in the video.
