Bengaluru, April 30 (MKN NEWS) The BJP and the Congress sparred on Wednesday over the disruption of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah\u2019s speech at a convention recently by the BJP\u2019s women workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response to a warning by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and state Congress President, D.K. Shivakumar, that he would not allow a single BJP meeting to be held in the state, following the disruption of the CM\u2019s speech, the state BJP pointed out that Siddaramaiah had once shown a black flag to late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and had still been absorbed into the Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BJP questioned whether Dy CM Shivakumar would dare to expel CM Siddaramaiah from the party because of his past act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leader of the Opposition, R. Ashoka, stated on Wednesday that, \u201cPrime Minister Indira Gandhi was shown black flags by Siddaramaiah \u2014 do you have the guts to expel him from the party, Mr. D.K. Shivakumar?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs your so-called might and capacity only limited to delivering dialogues in front of the media, like iron melting before a furnace, Mr. Shivakumar?\u201d Ashoka taunted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have threatened that you won\u2019t allow even a single BJP event to be held in the state. If you truly have the strength, then try removing CM Siddaramaiah \u2014 the very person who once showed black flags to then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi \u2014 from the Chief Minister\u2019s post and expel him from your party,\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen your party\u2019s supreme leader (late Indira Gandhi) was the Prime Minister, you brought in a person who had shown black flags to her, allowed him to join the Congress party, made him Chief Minister twice, and are now enjoying power under his shadow. What moral right do you have to threaten the BJP for holding protests?\u201d Ashoka questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Responding to the disruption of CM Siddaramaiah’s speech by the BJP over his \u201cno war with Pakistan\u201d comment, state Congress chief Shivakumar warned on Monday that if the BJP continues this behaviour, they will not be allowed to hold a single meeting in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“BJP sent its workers to our protest programme to wave black flags and create a ruckus. I want to tell the BJP and Opposition leaders \u2014 if you continue with this behaviour, we will not allow you to hold even a single meeting in the state.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is a pledge of the Congress party,” he underlined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
