Kaup, Dec 23: Union minister of state for agriculture and farmer welfare, Shobha Karandlaje, charged the Congress party of opposing the anti-conversion bill in order to secure its loyal votebank.
Speaking to media persons on Wednesday December 22, Shobha blamed the Congress of focussing solely on rising to power, irrespective of the ill affects the country and the society might suffer from.
She said, "The Congressmen have the lopsided mindset of maintaining its vote bank at any cost to come back to power. The Congress is expected to participate in discussions about the said act and come out with suggestions to improve it. But it has been blindly opposing the bill and this is the betrayal of the society at large.
"Irrespective of which caste or religion one belongs, misusing their weaknesses like poverty and other things, influencing the minds of girls to execute 'Love Jihad' plan and getting people converted are things which cannot be tolerated or overlooked," she stated.
On the occasion of the upcoming election for Kaup town municipality, Shobha visited different areas in Kaup on Wednesday and campaigned for votes on behalf of the BJP.
