Bengaluru: A fresh war of words ignited on Twitter between Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the people of Karnataka to throw the “corrupt and dynastic” Congress out of power in upcoming Assembly elections. After PM Modi’s day-long visit to Bengaluru on Sunday, Congress leader and state Chief Minister Siddaramaiah tweeted.
In 2011, Yeddyurappa was asked to quit as Karnataka CM after he was accused in a mining scam worth over Rs 50,000 crore.
Other members of Congress and BJP also sparred on Twitter.
Taking a dig at PM Modi, Congress social media head Divya Spandana Ramya asked he was on “pot”. To this BJP’s IT wing head Amit Malviya said more than 3,500 farmers have committed suicide in Karnataka, the highest for any state in India, but “speaking for them is being on ‘POT’… Congress keeps it classy, again”.
