Congress is a 3D party :
BJP president Amit Shah dubbed the Congress as a “3D party”, known for dadagiri (intimidation), dhokha (cheating) and dynasty, as he addressed a series of party workers’ meetings in Kalaburagi, the home district and constituency of the Congress leader in the Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun M Kharge.
Shah, who completed a two-day 17-meeting election tour in Hyderabad-Karnataka considered a Congress stronghold, held specific interactions with party workers in Chitapur and Sedam, represented in the Karnataka legislative assembly by Kharge’s son Priyank and his staunch follower Sharanprakash Patil, both of whom are ministers in the Siddaramaiahgovernment.
Karnataka is due to hold assembly elections in about two months’ time.
Vision of Amit Shah :
“You can see all the 3Ds here, in Kalaburagi. The Congress is carrying out dadagiri, dhoka and dynasty here,” Shah told the media in Kalaburagi, while expressing confidence that his party would form the next government in the state. “My strategy is to strengthen the booth-level workers in every constituency. We choose nine workers from every booth committee of an assembly constituency and bring them together. It’s a huge organisational feat.”
Shah also made moves to break Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah’s vote bank of AHINDA (Kannada acronym for minorities, backward classes and Dalits). Addressing a meeting of BJP workers from other backward classes (OBC), he said: “Siddaramaiah masquerades as an OBC leader, but he is partial only to minorities. His government does not allow central government schemes by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reach the OBCs here. The responsibility of ousting the Congress from power lies with the OBCs now.”
Shah visited a Brahmin math along with wife Sonal and BJP leaders BS Yeddyurappa and KS Eshwarappa. To media queries on rifts in the party and announcements by Yeddyurappa on candidates, he said: “It is all part of our strategy. We will take final decisions on candidates.”
