DAVANAGERE:
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Karnataka president Mukhyamantri Chandru has accused the BJP of suppressing the rights of the states where it is not in power, using various central investigation agencies.
“BJP is trying to suppress the rights of the states where it is not in power, using many institutions like ED which are under the central government to create fear”, said Chandru during a media interaction in Davanagere on Tuesday. He also criticised the Congress government in the state for “implementing freebies without proper thinking”.
“Eighty thousand crore rupees have been borrowed for this (freebies). The development work in the state is stopped. They have advertised that they have done what they promised in 100 days, but the Kannada and Culture Department has not received a single rupee”, Chandru alleged.
He said that he would be travelling across the state to strengthen the party by connecting with the people directly. “We will bring people from 10-15 villages to discuss their problems. We will introduce our Delhi government projects when we come to power”, he said.
He said that AAP will contest the upcoming local body election alone. “We will contest in the zilla and taluk panchayats and BBMP elections independently. Party-building work started, and we visited Tumakuru, Chitradurga and Shivamogga”, Chandru said. (ANI)
