Bengaluru: People who voted for Congress are worried about how to wash away their sins. The BJP is fighting against the government’s price hike policies and will take it to a logical conclusion, said Opposition Leader R Ashoka.

Speaking at the BJP protest at Freedom Park on Thursday, he said that while Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is stealing through taxes, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar is stealing through commissions. There is a tradition of placing money on a corpse after death. The Congress government has increased fees even for death certificates to collect money. The price of liquor has also been raised to extract money from alcohol lovers. The government doesn’t even have funds to maintain toilets. The people of Bengaluru are also in for a shock with an impending water tariff hike, he added.

He further stated that, the Siddaramaiah government, which came to power through guarantees, is providing financial assistance to wives while collecting money from husbands. People who voted for Congress are worried about how to wash away their sins. The BJP is fighting against this and will take it to a logical conclusion, he said.
He remarked that the government should have properly informed people about the taxes imposed in the budget. However, taxes were increased after the budget was presented. The Waqf Board was encroaching on farmers’ lands, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought an amendment to the law to stop it. But Congress is opposing even this, he said.
When BJP leaders protest, buses are brought to detain them. But now, there is a shortage of buses, and the government doesn’t even have the capacity to arrange them, he concluded.
