BENGALURU, APRIL 29:– BJP State General Secretary and MP, Kum. Shobha Karandlaje on Sunday charged that the Congress manifesto was prepared by a Public Relations (PR) company, and Congress party leaders simply released it without going through it. Addressing a press conference, she said the Congress party had never been serious in running the government. It had casual attitude in administration, because of which there had been failures on all fronts. It continued to show casual attitude in such an important step of preparing manifesto. Stating that the manifesto was full of absurdities and language errors, she said the Congress party had insulted Kannadigas and their language. By outsourcing the manifesto to a PR agency, the Congress showed how bankrupt of ideas it had been. If Chief Minister . Siddaramaiah would have read the manifesto, Kum. Karandlaje said, he would not have allowed it to be released. . . Instead of talking about manifesto and their five-year rule, she said, the Congress leaders had been indulged in personal abuse of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi; BJP President,Mr. Amith Shah and State BJP chief and party chief ministerial candidate, B. S. Yeddyurappa.
Referring to Siddaramaiah’s statement that Mr.Amith Shah and JDS leader Mr. H. D. Kumaraswamy secretly travelled in a chartered plane, Kum. Karandlaje challenged the Congress leader to release the proof to substantiate his claim. She said there had been no secret in the itinerary of Sri Amith Shah as he had a ‘Z’ category security cover in which the local police also had a role. Further, the Intelligence had also been with the State Government, and if Chief Minister had any proof of these 2 leaders’ meeting, he should release it as he could not get such an opportune time again.
Otherwise, he should apologise to Mr. Amith Shah for spreading canard. It was a cheap political gimmick. The people of Karnataka couldn’t be fooled by such a diversionary tactics. They had seen their divisive politics in the past five years, and reject them in the coming elections, she added.
