Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar vying with each other in appeasement of Muslims: Karnataka LoP

Bengaluru: R Ashoka, Leader of Opposition on Monday claimed that Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar, were vying with each other to appease Muslims.

Speaking at a valedictory function on the 30th anniversary of Sunni Yuvajana Sangha (SYS) at Adyar Sha Garden on the outskirts of Mangaluru recently, Shivakumar had said, “The government stands by you as it is the government for the protection of people hailing from all castes and religions.”

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had also released Rs 1,000 crore for the development of Muslim mohallas.

“The Congress Government has Rs 1,000 crore to provide for mohallas but the Treasury seems to be empty when it comes to release of Rs 2,000 compensation for farmers who are reeling under drought,” Ashoka charged.

“Mr. CM Siddaramaiah, you have been proving that your Congress party can stoop to any level to appease Muslims. However, do not sacrifice farmers who produce food without having any bias of caste, religion and differences,” he stated.

“More than 800 farmers have committed suicide following drought. Lakhs of agricultural labourers have migrated in search of work leaving behind their houses and properties. How many more farmers will have to end lives to melt your heart of stone? Take immediate action to disburse compensation to farmers. If it is not possible, submit resignation to the post,” Ashoka demanded.

Bengalore: Coming down heavily on the Congress for demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on the lines of the Popular Front of India, the ruling BJP has equated the PFI with the Congress. Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government. It is not important whether it is registered or not. RSS is working for the welfare of the country. But, PFI is indulging in anti-national activities,” he stated.
