Karnataka govt. adopting Kerala Model of political violence: Rajnath

TIL Desk/National/Karnataka/ Home Minister Rajnath Singh has accused the Congress government in poll-bound Karnataka of adopting “the model of political violence” from Kerala, but assured people that BJP will end the violent targeting of political workers if it comes to power in the state.

Addressing a series of campaign meetings for BJP, Mr Singh also claimed that there have been 3,781 cases of suicide by farmers during the five-year Congress rule led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

“It seems the Congress government in Karnataka has adopted the model of political violence from neighbouring Kerala. Many political workers were killed under Siddaramaiah’s rule. The BJP will bring an end to the political violence after coming to power in Karnataka,” he said.

The campaign for the 224-member Karnataka Assembly is heating up with prominent leaders visiting the state and the political parties announcing their candidate lists for the polls. BJP, which is making an all-out effort to oust the Congress government from the state, today released its fourth list of candidates. With that, it has declared nominees for 220 seats.
