Kalaburagi: Congress leader M Mallikarjuna Kharge said today that the Karnataka assembly election result will teach a lesson to the Bharatiya Janata Party, and it will send a larger message that people will not accept what the party had been doing, at the advice of RSS. Talking about the Congress campaign in the state, he said it was an ideological fight.
Mr Kharge added that the BJP and RSS were implementing their own agenda. He claimed the weaker sections and minorities feel insecure under the BJP rule.
"They (RSS-BJP) are implementing their own agenda. Particularly the weaker sections, minorities and poorer sections feel insecure under the BJP and RSS-supported government," the Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha alleged.
"If you don't prevent the BJP here (in Karnataka), then definitely they will destroy the democracy. They are talking a lot of things about changing Constitution and also 'Hindutva' against the minorities. All these arguments (of the BJP), people don't accept," Mr Kharge told PTI.
Karnataka is ahead in development and on law and order, investment and employment-generation fronts and, so, the ruling Congress would be 'ahead' in election also, Mr Kharge said.
"I don't think people will let us down," he said.
He said the coming election was "very important and crucial" as it would send a "message" that "whatever the BJP is doing, on the advice of RSS, people are not going to accept."
"This will teach them a lesson to mend (ways), (and) to act according to the Constitutional methods," he said.
