CAA implementation is BJP’s Election Gimmick: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah
Udupi: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that the Center has implemented the Citizenship Amendment Act only for elections and this is the BJP’s election gimmick because BJP is afraid of defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. He was speaking to the media at the Adi-Udupi Helipad on March 13.
Responding to a question by media persons about the Chief Minister’s stance on the implementation of the Citizenship Act in the state, the CM said that the BJP kept silent about it for so many years and implemented it just before the elections.
The CM further said that Jayaprakash Hegde’s rejoining the Congress party has given strength to the party in the coastal region.
The CM also said that he had no information about the reason behind the BJP’s decision to give the ticket to Yaduveer without giving it to Mysore MP Pratap Sinha this time.
