Karnataka BJP on Monday slammed the Congress government on the Governor’s speech addressed in the joint session in Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru.

Leader of the Opposition (LoP) R. Ashoka said that the Hindus are under “attack” in the State and the Congress government has forced the Governor to “lie”.

“The terrorist activities are rising in the state. The Congress government’s claim of maintaining law and order is also shameful. The state government has also forced the honourable Governor to lie while projecting the work done by BJP as its own,” the LoP told media persons.

He said that the hatred towards Hindus is on rise in the state. “Terrorist activities have alarmingly surged but the state government is describing it as a beautiful garden for all religions,” he said.
