Bengaluru, Nov 10: Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly Siddaramaiah slammed the central government for withdrawing Special Protection Group (SPG) cover of AICC supremo Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
In his twitter missive, the former chief minister said, "Two of the Gandhi family member were assassinated and the family continues to be the target of many non-state factors. SPG withdrawal is nothing but political motives turned into personal vendetta."
The decision to remove the SPG cover of three Congress leaders was taken by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), said sources. The government has now decided to accord them Z plus security. CRPF personnel will now guard the members of the Gandhi family.
