Raghu Kautilya, the State OBC president of the BJP, took a critical stance against the Congress, alleging that the party is becoming a refuge for anti-national elements, contributing to the rise of terrorism in Karnataka.
Addressing the media during a press meet on Sunday, March 3, Kautilya claimed, “There is a lack of development in the state, and the Congress is fostering terrorism, evident in their leaders praising Pakistan at Vidhana Soudha. When an ordinary person praises Pakistan, it’s one thing, but when it happens in Vidhana Soudha, it’s a significant difference. Despite the FSN results being out and covered by the media, they are unwilling to accept it. Just two days after that incident, a bomb blast occurred in Bengaluru. Terrorism in India was eradicated under Narendra Modi, but the Karnataka state government is turning Karnataka into a hub for terrorism. Once the BJP is back in power, there will be zero tolerance for terrorism.”
He continued, “Pakistan has been conducting terror attacks, yet the Congress party aligns with them, claiming they are just a neighboring and friendly country. This will end when the BJP defeats them in the next elections. The people of Karnataka believe in peace with everyone, and the Congress party is disrupting the peace in our society. Many products are being imported, causing significant losses to local manufacturers. We should support more local manufacturers. We do not believe in the Congress party’s guarantee schemes because, according to us, we should provide food forever, not just for some time, and that’s our aim.”
Addressing the BJP’s previous electoral setback, Kautilya said, “What happened in the Assembly is okay, but in 2019, we secured 26 seats, and this time we aim to secure 28 NDA seats. We are noticing that people are rejecting the Congress party.”
Responding to questions about Dinesh Gundurao’s statement on the Pulwama attacks, Kautilya said, “Pulwama attacks were carried out by Pakistanis, and we conducted a surgical strike. The entire Congress is a big mafia. When Pakistan made movements inside our borders, we went inside and attacked them, but this problem is internal.”
During the event, Raghu Kautilya was felicitated, with the presence of Vittal Poojary, Kishore Kumar, RC Narayan, and others.
