Hubballi, Oct 19: By-election campaigning for Hanagal and Sindhagi legislative constituencies is picking pace. Political leaders are giving controversial statements in the heat of the campaign.
State BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel created controversy by saying, “There are reports that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is a drug addict and peddler.”
Speaking in the city, Nalin said, “Rahul Gandhi is a drug addict and drug peddler. I am not saying this but it is reported. Can a person who cannot lead a political party, lead the nation?
“There is competition between mother Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul Gandhi for the national president post of Congress. They are unable to run a national party and are dreaming of leading the nation.
“Our PM says ‘Sab Ka Saath Sab Ka Vikas’. Opposition leader Siddaramaiah says “Saabar Ka Saath Saabar Ka Vikas.” He is appeasing Muslims in the fear of losing the elections. Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar are not pair of oxen (Jodethu) but a pair of jungle oxen (Kadethu). They have started fighting within themselves. Siddaramaiah’s conspiracy is behind Ugrappa speaking against D K Shivakumar. Congress will be divided into two before the next elections.”
