Corruption, commission: Rahul turns heat on Karnataka govt

BHARAT JODO YATRA

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday dubbed the BJP government in Karnataka as the “most corrupt” in the country and said “’complaints of commission” have been sent to the prime minister but no action has been taken.

Gandhi started the 26th day of his Bharat Jodo Yatra at the crack of dawn and walked through the streets of the old Mysuru town, which was decked up for the famous 10day Dasara celebrations, and reached Mandya.

In Mysuru, the yatra moved as a colourful procession amid beating of drums, with artistes in traditional costumes walking with Congress leaders and workers to match the town’s festive spirit.

Gandhi addressed a public gathering at Pandavapura bus station in Mandya, where he lashed out at the BJP government in Karnataka. “This 40 percent Commission government in the state is taking bribes from all and the most affected are farmers, labourers, small traders, and small and medium enterprises.

Gandhi urged the people to join the Bharat Jodo Yatra against the politics of hate and violence “perpetrated by the BJP in the country”.

He also greeted the people on the festival of Dasara, which is celebrated with traditional fervour in Mysuru.

Gandhi had on Sunday night addressed a public gathering in Mysuru amid torrential rains and continued his speech even while he was drenched.

On Durga Ashtami on Monday, Rahul Gandhi earlier visited the Chamundeshwari temple atop Chamundi hills here on the third day of the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in Karnataka.
