Bengaluru, Mar 2: A day after the BJP released a booklet against the ruling Congress government, KPCC Working President Dinesh Gundu Rao and Bengaluru Development Minister K J George on Friday said the BJP has come out with a "concocted chargesheet" against the State Government out of "frustration" and "fears of defeat" in the coming Assembly polls.
Addressing a joint press conference in Bengaluru, the Congress leaders said the BJP chargesheet was just a bundle of lies.
"It (chargesheet) is not fit to be even put in a waste basket...they (BJP) feel people of the state and Bengaluru are dumb, and will believe them," George said dismissively.
The State BJP leaders on Thursday had brought out a Bengaluru specific "chargesheet" against the ruling Congress while announcing a 14-day "protect Bengaluru" march from Friday.
"Let Prime Minister Narendra Modi or State BJP president Amit Shah or State BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa or any one come, people of Karnataka have decided. They (BJP) will not get more than 55 seats, I even doubt that the number may even come down as days go by," George said.
Alleging that there were reports that the election may be delayed, George said BJP might do it as the ruling party at the Centre has realised that it would lose 100%, and would not cross more than 55 seats.
Dinesh Gundu Rao held BJP responsible for various issues faced by Bengaluru including traffic, potholes on roads, pollution of lakes and inefficient infrastructure. They claimed that the Congress has made all efforts in fixing these issues and giving a face-lift to this "global city."
