Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday attacked the Congress and said the state government, instead of ensuring justice in the Hubbali murder case attacked the victim’s dignity to satisfy its vote bank.
Addressing a Lok Sabha poll campaign rally at Bagalkote in Karnataka, the prime minister said, “When one of our daughters was stabbed multiple times in Hubballi, the government here started attacking the dignity of that daughter to save their 'vote bank'. In Karnataka, fundamentalists have gone uncontrolled, a shopkeeper listening to 'Hanuman Chalisa' in his shop was attacked."
Modi also charged Congress has turned a state known as a tech hub into ‘tanker hub’. “Congress isn't running a government in Karnataka but an 'extortion gang'. Congress has made Karnataka a 'tanker hub'. These people are dreaming of a scam like the 2G scam,” ANI reported.
Neha, the daughter of Congress Councillor of Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation Niranjan Hiremath, was stabbed to death by her former classmate Fayaz Khondunaik on the campus of BVB College on April 18.
