Bengaluru, Apr 20: Former minister B Somashekhar, former MUDA chairman Basavanagowda, State Wakf Board chairman Asif Sait and Abdul Aziz, who quit BJP and JD(S) respectively, joined the State Congress party in the presence of Congress leader Siddaramaiah, KPCC president D K Shivakumar and other party leaders even as all Dalit organisations extended their support to Congress all over the State on Thursday.

The entry of prominent leaders from the Dalit, minority and Lingayat community as well as the support extended by the combined Dalit Sangarsha Samiti leaders has strengthened the Congress immensely, said Shivakumar.

The KPCC chief and Siddaramaiah said the Combined Struggle Committee of all Dalit Sangarsha Samitis in the State have promised to lend their support to defeat communal forces and also to protect constitution, democracy and the rights of the Dalit communities in all the 224 constituencies.

The convenor of the Dalit Sagarsha Struggle Committee Indudhara Honnapaur said their support to the Congress was conditional in respect of protecting constitution, democracy and the rights of the Dalit communities and also to repeal the anti-cow slaughter, anti-conversion and the anti-farmer laws and anti-people policies implemented by the BJP.

    BJP are shameless people. After all the disasters they have caused to Karnataka and 40% commission, they are asking people to vote for BJP to stop corruption!!. They must be thinking voters are stupid. Now the Pulwama soldiers deaths scandal has been revealed by one of BJP ex governors of J&K shows their true colours.

    BJP your last days seem to be approaching. What goes up has to come down . In the end only good deeds make things happen and not pride and misuse of power.
