Bengaluru, Jul 22 (IANS): Former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Saturday said that handing over of PSI recruitment scam investigation to the judicial committee is politics of hatred by the ruling Congress government.

Speaking to reporters after participating in the protest by the BJP, Bommai said that: “It is not known in which direction the politics of hatred is going. We have brought out the PSI scandal and ordered a CID inquiry. An officer of the rank of ADGP has been sent to jail.”

There is the role of the Congress leaders in the scandal. The investigation is done and the case is in the court. At this stage ordering for judicial probe reflects the politics of hatred, he said.

Bommai said that CM Siddaramaiah has said that BJP should protest before the statue of Godse. The Congress leaders have misused the name of Mahatma Gandhi to a great extent.

“Gandhiji had asked them to dissolve the Congress party after the independence. It was because he knew that Congress leaders are not capable of ruling the country. The Congress leaders are praying before the fake Gandhis. They are taking the name of Gandhi ji to pursue politics,” Bommai stated.
