Chikkaballapur Dec 26: Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy said, in reality, it is the BJP that is creating mischief in Karnataka today.
"The BJP is a drama troupe headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP National President Amit Shah from Delhi. The BJP members in the state are actors. They are enacting this play with the upcoming elections in mind," the minister alleged.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, he said that, eyeing the polls, State BJP President B S Yeddyurappa went to meet Amit Shah in Delhi to discuss the Mahadayi river water sharing dispute and later wrote to Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parikkar.
"Because of this, Parikkar replied to Yeddyurappa in three days. Earlier, when Chief Minister Siddaramaiah wrote the Goa CM, he did not reply," Reddy pointed out.
"Yeddyurappa who went all the way hoped to return with good news for the state. But now that his plan has not fructified, he is nitpicking. Farmers who have been fighting for 800 days, for Mahadayi water are now enraged and are calling for bundhs and protests. It is wrong to say the Congress is responsible for this," the minister said in reply to a question.
"Yeddyurappa's speech doesn't make sense. How will AICC President Rahul Gandhi or Sonia Gandhi be affected if Karnataka gets Mahadayi water?" Reddy questioned.
He suggested that Yeddyurappa, for his won sake, should get rid of his habit of referring to other political leaders in the singular in his public statements.
