"Rahul Gandhi's Politics About Lies, Hit Jobs": Union Minister On Karnataka CampaignHitting back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks that the BJP is attacking the democracy of Basavanna, founder of the Lingayat sect, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Monday said that the former MP's politics consists of lies and hit jobs.
The Union Minister's remarks came after Rahul Gandhi accused the ruling party and RSS of attacking democracy in India.
Addressing a public meeting in poll-bound Karnataka's Bhalki, Rahul Gandhi said, "In India, if someone spoke of democracy for the first time and showed the path to it, it was Basavanna ji. Sadly, today people of RSS and BJP are attacking democracy. The thinking of Basavanna ji of participation by all, a place for all and that everyone should go ahead together is being attacked by BJP and RSS. They are spreading hatred and violence in India."
Responding to it, the Union Minister took to Twitter and said, "We know Rahul Gandhi politics consists of lies and hit jobs. It has been this way for several years now. But brazenness with which he is talking of Lingayat community and Basavanna is another level."
He said that Rahul Gandhi and former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah divided the Lingayat community in 2018 Karnataka elections.
"Same Rahul n his buddy Sidda tried their best in 2018 Elections to divide Lingayat community. Rahul's Cong worships no god, respects no community - only does n says whatever is required to divide people n get votes - and they will fail again as they did in 2018," he tweeted.
"Karnataka neither wants nor supports the decrepit, corrupt n divisive politics of Cong/JD(S) that it has endured for 6 decades. @BJP4Karnataka will on basis of its 3 1/2 years of work in the most challenge-filled period in history of Karnataka & 72 new faces with commitment to serve willl win these elections wth a decisive mandate to continue development n progress for all Kannadigas," he said.
