Shobha questions Cong commitment to promoting Dalit leadership

Speaking to reporters, she attacked Congress functionaries for asking BJP to appoint a Dalit to the post of state party chief. “Congress leaders, including chief minister Siddaramaiah, are trying to divert the attention of people by questioning BJP’s commitment to promoting Dalits. Congress failed to initiate development works and fulfil the guarantee schemes,” she said. “Let Congress leaders concentrate on the development of the state instead of diverting the people’s attention,” she added.

Shobha said she doesn’t know for what purpose Congress leaders are holding Sadhana Samavesha in Mysuru. “On the one hand, people of the state are cursing govt for the collapse of law and order, increasing crime, rape against women, and attacks on police stations. On the other hand, they are upset over not implementing the development works,” she said. “The state govt has no money to clear the transportation bills of contractors supplying Anna Bhagya rice to KFCSC warehouses and ration shops. It has no money to repair KSRTC buses and to release salaries for the govt staff,” she charged.

“Moreover, several Congress MLAs openly raised their voice against their govt for not providing funds for development works in their constituencies,” she claimed. She accused Congress functionaries of neglecting the development of the state but fighting for the CM’s post. However, she refused to comment on the change of CM in the state, describing it as an internal issue of Congress.
