The Congress and the ruling BJP in poll-bound Karnataka engaged in a bitter war of words on Saturday over politicians attending even💦ts organised by rowdies.
Mounting the attack, the Congress launched a website -- www.bjprowdymorcha.com -- saying it has put up a list of 'leaked' candidates on the portal. The list comprises people🅷 with their photographs who allegedly have criminal cases registered against them.
The Congress charged that the Karnataka BJP is𝔉 accommodating rowdies and anti-social elem꧑ents in the ruling party.
"With the skeletons tumbling out of the cupboard of BJP in the last days, the Indian National Congress has upped the ante by dedicating an entire website to showcase the improprieties of the BJP in the run-up to the 2023 elec𝓡tions," the🌜 Congress said in a statement.
T𝓰he BJP hi🐻t back by listing out the past of many leaders, who allegedly have a criminal history.
In a series of tweets, the BJP without mincing word𒊎s alleged that Congress state president D K Shivakumar himse♔lf was an aide of a notorious rowdy. It also stated that Karnataka Youth Congress president Mohammed Harris Nalapad was rowdy.
The Congress launched the attওack following reports that some of their leaders recently attended a programme organised by rowdies in the city, who police had s💞aid were absconding.
