Congress accuses BJP of planning to murder their president Mallikarjun Kharge and family
On Saturday (May 6) morning, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala stirred the hornet’s nest by claiming that the BJP is conspiring to kill Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and his family.
The progress comes merely days ahead of the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections throughout the State. “The sinister and ugly plot to kill Mallikarjun Kharge and his entire family by the BJP is the lowest that the political discourse can stoop to,” Surjewala alleged.
Surjewala claimed that the motive behind the supposed ‘murder conspiracy’ is to derail the Congress advertising and marketing marketing campaign throughout the Karnataka elections. “Friends, there is a designed hatred towards Karnataka’s son of the soil on the part of Central and State BJP leadership,” the Congress spokesperson added.
Intimidated by the all-round blessing of Kannadigas being showered on the Congress Party and coping with a complete rout throughout the ensuing assembly elections, the BJP and its administration in the meanwhile are resorting to hatching a “murder plot” to kill AICC President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, his partner… pic.twitter.com/adiSeWEx9h

Randeep Surjewala then went on to dub Kharge as ‘Dalit’, and ‘leader of social justice’. He claimed, “Now they are using assassination plots as last weapons in their armoury…This is not an attack on Mallikarjun Kharge but on the life and honour of every Kannadiga.”
“The land of Lord Basavanna, which prides itself on rich traditions of harmony and democratic co-existence, is under attack by these murderous conspiracies,” he brazened it out.
The Congress spokesperson accused PM Modi, Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai, Karnataka police and the Election Commission of India (ECI) of being mute spectators to the supposed conspiracy.

“The only befitting reply by 6.5 crores Kannadiga brothers and sisters to murder the son of the soil of Karnataka is by decisively decimating the BJP in the ensuing Karnataka elections,” Randeep Surjewala concluded, hoping to draw a sympathy wave in favour of the Congress celebration.
It should be talked about that Mallikarjun Kharge and his son Priyank had earlier resorted to name-calling and defaming PM Modi. They had used slurs comparable to ‘poisonous snake‘ and ‘nalayak‘ for the Prime Minister respectively.
Congress celebration has now stooped even lower by suggesting that the rival celebration must murder its chief with none proof. It seems to be as if a well-thought-out ploy to undo the hurt introduced on by name-calling PM Modi.
