BJP running ‘law versus conspiracy’ battle: Siddu

NT Correspondent Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said that the BJP is running a ‘law versus conspiracy’ battle in both the state and the country and is trying to defeat the law through conspiracies to create political instability. He was speaking at the inauguration of the 'Gandhi Bharat' program at the KPCC office, organised by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC). "Gandhi is the soul of India. While Gandhi's body can be killed, his ideas cannot be destroyed," remarked Siddaramaiah, stating that for the BJP, Godse is their leader.

He called upon people to defeat the BJP's conspiracy to turn India according to Godse’s vision. “Gandhi chaired the Belagavi session of Congress which was historic. He was a saint the world has rarely seen. He is a source of pride for all Indians,” the CM said. He highlighted the fact that during the Belagavi session, Gandhi emphasised on Hindu-Muslim unity, village self-governance (Gram Swaraj), and the upliftment of all (Sarvodaya).

These have become core principles of the Congress. “Gandhi is the soul and conscience of India. Godses should not be allowed to grow. We must not allow the division of society in the name of religion or caste. Communal forces must be defeated,” the CM said.
