Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said Congress will counter the BJP’s ‘Ballari Chalo’ padayatra while defending the government’s drought assessment process and calling the FIR against Rahul Gandhi “purely political.”
Taking a dig at the BJP
for organising a padayatra to protest the alleged failures of the Congress
government, Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said the ruling party will
plan a counter strategy against it. He said that the BJP
organising such programmes benefits Congress because it provides an opportunity
to counter the opposition.
The Karnataka BJP launched
a 10-day foot march from Lingasugur in Raichur district to Ballari to protest
the alleged failures of the Congress government.
"They are doing padayatra, good, it is good. They are giving opportunities
to us. If they do padayatra it is good.
Our party will plan a
counter strategy. Our party is no less. Our party got freedom for this country
with its agitations; when our party got freedom for the country, they (BJP) did
not exist," Shivakumar said in response to a question by reporters here.
