Summary:
Bengaluru, Sep 23 (PTI) Karnataka Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Saturday alleged that the Congress launched the "PayCM" campaign targeting Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai because the party cannot tolerate a Chief Minster from the major Lingayat community.
But, Bommai distanced himself from a discussion.
“I am not a party to that statement and will not comment,” Bommai said in Chitradurga.
Speaking to reporters here, Sudhakar said, “Whoever gives good governance, especially if there are strong Lingayat chief ministers, they (Congress) drag them out.
People of the State are taking note of it.” “Congress has always done that.
They always target major community.
This is not the first time.
They did not spare Kengal Hanumanthaiah.
Whom did they spare? Whoever is the Chief Minister from the major community, this is their constant approach,” the Minister added.
According to him, the Bommai-led Bharatiya Janata Party government is providing a clean administration.
