Shivamogga, Sep 2: Leader of the opposition in legislative council, K S Eshwarappa, clarified that 'Sangolli Rayanna Brigade' is being set up in the state to teach Congress a lesson. He compared the shaping of this organization to the birth of Lord Krishna to annihilate demon Kamsa.

Speaking to media persons here on Thursday September 1, he said that backward classes and dalits are not bonded to any one party. "Congress, which hitherto was under the impression that support of backward classes and dalits to them was assured, are now feeling threatened at the setting up of this organization. Therefore, all Congress leaders including chief minister, Siddaramaiah, have been issuing one statement after the other with each passing day," he added.

He asked Congress to list out the tasks they had taken up during the the three and half years they are in power.

When he was questioned about BJP state president, Yeddyurappa's initiatives to organize separate meets of backward people, he felt that such meets will strengthen the party. Welcoming this move, he said they will help leaders to understand the problems of scheduled castes and tribes and take up their problems with the government.
