Daijiworld Media Network - Dharwad (SP)

Dharwad, Sep 28: Taking pot-shots at former chief minister, Siddaramaiah, who had said that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is like the Taliban, C T Ravi said, "With advanced age, it is said, cataract affects our eyesight. I fail to understand what kind of cataract has dimmed Siddaramaiah's eyesight. Because he has equated the Taliban with RSS.” He was speaking at a press meet held in Bengaluru on Monday September 27.

"He will understand that it is Taliban if he is able to clear the cataract cover. If the Taliban was here, Siddaramaiah would not have survived. If the situation here was like the one under the Taliban, not only his traditional 'Panche' which he was wearing, but he too would have been hanging now. Has something happened because of which he has been unable to decipher the difference between the Taliban, BJP and RSS," he discreetly questioned.

He said that Siddaramaiah and the Congress have close association with SDDPI, PFI, MIM etc. "They are not related to us, and we have never played politics f or votes. See who is engaged in politics with the Tukday gang," he said.
