Karnataka Poll: "This government of BJP is a stolen government...", Rahul Gandhi in Shivamogga

Bengaluru: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday targeted the BJP and said in a rally in Shivamogga, "This governmnet of the BJP is a stolen government. BJP stole it three years ago by destroying democracy. Why is the PM Modi not speaking about the corruption done by this government? He should tell what steps he has taken to stop corruption in Karnataka". 

Rahul Gandhi took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for always talking about himself during his rallies and said that the latter should understand that the Karnataka election was not about him.

"He is not saying anything about Karnataka. The question is not about PM Modi. It is about the people of the state of Karnataka," Rahul Gandhi said noting that Modi did not discuss any issue about the state during his rally.

"Please accept that your government in the state took 40 per cent commission during the last three and half years," the Congress leader.

Taking potshots at the ruling BJP, Rahul Gandhi said if it returns to power in the State, then the party will increase the rate of commission from 40 per cent to 50 per cent".
