Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday held a massive roadshow in Krishnarajanagara here waving at a large enthusiastic crowd along the route, seeking people’s support ahead of the May 10 Assembly polls in Karnataka.
Standing atop a specially-designed vehicle, she was greeted by the crowd gathered on the sides of the roads and on nearby buildings.
Accusing the BJP Government in Karnataka of rampant corruption, Priyanka alleged `1.5 lakh crore has been “looted” from the State.
She also expressed confidence about Congress coming to power after the May 10 Assembly polls in Karnataka and taking the state on the path of development.
“What is most sad is the 40 per cent government commission that was there in the state looted you (public). They looted you without any shame,” she said while targeting the ruling BJP in the State at a public meeting in T Narasipura of the district here.
“For the sake of your future, vote for Congress and bringing in a new government which will usher in a new hope in Karnataka,” she added.
Commenting on the Amul versus Nandini row, Vadra said the Congress will strengthen Karnataka’s ‘Nandini’ brand, and no cooperative will come from outside.
Noting that this BJP government formed four years ago was not a government with the support of the people, She said the electorate had given a mandate to the Congress and JD(S) in the 2018 polls, but BJP formed a government later by “buying MLAs from other parties”.
“They have broken your promise from the start. Right from the beginning, the government is based on betrayal and greed...As a result, no work has been done in the last four years. In the last three to four years, the grants from the central government have been decreasing,” she said.
Pointing out that there are lakhs of vacancies in the state government, the AICC General Secretary sought to know: “What does it mean that you are unemployed, even though these posts are vacant? Why is the government not giving you jobs? The government has broken promises it had made.”
