Bengaluru, March 06:Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday described the Congress party as the den of corruption while reacting to the call for bandh given by the party on March 9.

 

This comes after president of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), D K Shivakumar, called a bandh in the state to protest against the 'corrupt' Basavaraj Bommai-led BJP government.

 

Speaking to reporters, CM Bommai said, "The scams done by the Congress party are not one or two. The time has come for that party to become extinct. Those leaders have called for bandh, thinking they can write their political future through protests and bandh, but no one will support it."

 

He added, "People who make allegations must be clean handed, only then will it have some value. But the Congress leaders have indulged in corruption, starting from small items like pillows, mattresses, coffee, biscuits to irrigation. During the Congress regime, the then CM Siddaramaiah had given the target for all the ministers. Ask M B.Patil, Dr H C.Mahadevappa or K J.George regarding the target given to them. The Congress party is filled with corruption and their games will not be entertained. The people will decide in the election arena."
