Siddaramaiah claims ‘Cong. wave’ as people are upset with BJP rule
The Hindu
He says fight is between Congress and JD(S) in Mandya
Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Siddaramaiah said in Mandya on Tuesday that there is a direct fight between the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) in Mandya although the BJP is in the fray. The JD(S) had won the Council poll last time in Mandya and the Congress candidate Dinesh Gooli Gowda will romp home in this election, he said, adding that 4,025 voters will be casting their ballot.
Arguing that there is an anti-BJP wave in the State, Mr. Siddaramaiah said political polarisation has begun with the common people and elected representatives fed up with the BJP-led Central government and the BJP government in the State over alleged “anti-people” governance.
“The BJP governments have failed to fulfill promises made to the people. There is a Congress wave in the State with the people disillusioned with the BJP rule both at the Centre and the State,” he claimed, while addressing press persons in Mandya.
