At launch of Cong. membership drive, former CM hits out at RSS, BJP, JD(S)
Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday claimed that V.D. Savarkar, whom the BJP party projects as a “patriot and freedom fighter”, did not participate in the freedom struggle.
Launching the Congress party’s membership drive from his native Siddaramanahundi in Mysuru, he said Savarkar had not been jailed for participating in the freedom struggle. He had been released from prison by the British after he filed a mercy petition, giving an undertaking that he will not participate in any struggle against them.
Though it was the Congress party members who had sacrificed their lives and belongings for the country during the freedom struggle, it is ironical that the BJP was trying to teach patriotism to the Congress.
