Act of ‘political vendetta’ by Modi govt: Cong’s Surjewala on MUDA ‘scam’ | Politics News

Congress general secretary and Karnataka in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala on Saturday dubbed the permission granted by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the MUDA alternative site scam as an act of political vendetta by the PM Narendra Modi-led government. He said the Congress party would fight the battle legally.

Surjewala alleged that the decision is an “act of shameless unconstitutionality” by the Governor, who is hell-bent on bulldozing the law and the Constitution to carry further BJP’s conspiracy. “In a brazen political conspiracy hatched in the corridors of PMO and the Home Ministry, in Delhi, against the people of Karnataka and its elected government, the puppet Governor of Karnataka’ has proceeded to grant prosecution sanction against the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, by dancing to the tune of his political masters,” he said in a statement.

He further alleged that the Machiavellian’ conspiracy of the PMO/Home Ministry/BJP Leaders has three facets — Try to steal the vote and the mandate of the people of Karnataka, decisively given in favour of the Congress party, by using the office of a ragdoll Governor. The second is to attack the Congress government in order to accomplish the BJP’s evil design to stop the five Congress Guarantees, benefitting over five crore Kannadigas. The third is “attack the Backward Class/SC/ST and marginalised sections by a fabricated design to tarnish the image of India’s senior most Backward Class Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Such fabricated and manufactured conspiracies will get shredded to pieces in the people’s court.”

Surjewala affirmed that the Congress party and its government will never permit the BJP to succeed in its evil design to stop the Congress’ guarantees.
