TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ BJP president Amit Shah took a dig at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for deciding to contest from two constituencies in the upcoming assembly elections, saying the person on whom the Congress was dependent was ‘running away’ and looking for a safer seat.
“The Congress depends on Siddaramaiah in this assembly election. He himself is running away from the Chamundeshwari assembly constituency to the Badami assembly constituency. How much can you escape? Our candidate B Sriramulu will defeat you,” he said at a public rally at Gangavathi in Koppal district on Friday.
Referring to Congress President Rahul Gandhi posing questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on national issues during his ongoing two-day campaign in the state, he said the ruling Congress should answer questions on its performance.
“I have come here to answer your (Rahul) questions…. it is your party’s turn to answer because this is an assembly election in a state which your party ruled for five years,” Shah said.
