BJP has no moral right to talk about 'Brand Bengaluru': CM Siddaramaiah
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday hit out at the opposition BJP questioning the contribution of the party in taking up development works in Bengaluru when its government was in power for four years in the state. His comments came in response to the BJP's accusation that no development work was taking place in Bengaluru, the state capital.
«We came just six months ago.
Before that, the BJP was in power for four years. Did they make 'Brand Bengaluru'? What did they do in four years,» Siddaramaiah asked while talking to reporters.
'Brand Bengaluru' is an initiative of the Congress government aimed at developing Bengaluru into a global city.
«They (BJP) couldn't even fill potholes. People (Judges) in the High Court were scolding them and passing strictures and comments as well. What moral right do they (BJP) have to talk about Bengaluru,» the Chief Minister said.
