After its “PayCM” poster campaign alleging 40% fee prices towards the BJP authorities, the Karnataka Congress on Saturday launched one other poster campaign towards the ruling celebration, focusing on the Budget introduced on Friday.
The Congress on Saturday began “Sakappa Saku Kivi Mele Hoova” (“enough of flower on ear” an idiomatic expression in Kannada which means “stop fooling people”). Posters displaying this slogan have been pasted on BJP posters that stated “BJPya Bharavasagalu” (BJP’s promises). Elected representatives from the Congress, together with their supporters, began this campaign in Bengaluru, Mangaluru, and different districts.
On Friday, Congress MLAs had symbolically tucked flowers behind their ears contained in the Assembly through the Budget presentation to mark their protest towards what they termed “unfulfilled promises” made by the ruling BJP.
The Congress posters appeared on BJP posters displaying Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP nationwide president J.P. Nadda, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, his predecessor B.S. Yediyurappa, and BJP State president Nalin Kumar Kateel.
These posters have been prominently seen on Jayamahal Road and Byatarayanapura in Bengaluru.
‘People will give fitting reply’
Meanwhile, hitting again on the Congress, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi stated that individuals of the State would educate them a becoming lesson by “keeping a flower on the Congress’ ear” as they’d finished in lots of different States. “It is in fact the Congress that has fooled people for decades. But now, people know what the party is. The Congress is in such a condition in the country that one has look for it with binoculars,” stated Mr. Joshi.
