BJP leaders won’t roam freely if they rip our posters, warns ex-Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah
India Today
A day after posters of Rahul Gandhi were torn, Karnataka Congress leader Siddaramaiah issued a warning to BJP leaders and said they will not be able to roam freely if they vandalise Congress's posters.
The leader of Opposition in Karnataka and former chief minister Siddaramaiah on Friday issued a warning to BJP leaders against vandalising party posters in the state. This comes a day after posters of Rahul Gandhi and Congress leaders put up to welcome the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra were torn in the Gundlupet area.
Congress leaders had accused BJP workers of tearing the posters which were put up on the highway passing through Gundlupet.
Siddaramaiah said, “They are vandalising our posters and flexes. I would like to warn that if they try to continue to do this, none of the BJP leaders will be seen roaming freely in Karnataka, our Congress workers have that kind of power to do that in the state.”
He added that he had spoken to the police on Thursday and the day before.
“They're trying to do these kinds of things. I would like to tell the police department that in the next six months the government will change. Congress will come back to power again and I am warning the same to the police,” Siddaramaiah added.
The party's Bharat Jodo Yatra entered its Karnataka leg on Friday with party leaders including Siddaramaiah welcoming Rahul Gandhi at the state border.
