Mangalore, Septemeber 17: Former MLA and Congress leader Vijayakumar Shetty has ridiculed the BJP for deciding to launch a Rath Yatra against corruption in the country.
"It is an irony that BJP, which is neckdeep in corrpution, is launching an agitation against corruption. If L.K. Advani has the guts, he should launch his Rath Yatra either from Bellary or from Shikaripur, the home constituency of scam-tainted B.S. Yeddyurappa," he told presspersons here on Friday.
"Advani seems to be competing to secure a place in the anti-corruption crusaders list. But, in BJP-ruled states like Uttarakhand and Karnataka corrpution is rampant. Advani had destroyed the communal harmony of the country by carrying out a Rath Yatra during the Ayodhya struggle. Now unmindful of the rampant corruption within the party, he has decided to take out another yatra in the name of corruption," he said.
Congress leaders Harinath, Shashidhar Hegde, T. K .Sudhir among others were present.
