Joshi lashes out at Siddaramaiah

Hubballi: Union minister Pralhad Joshi on Sunday called Siddaramaiah a “fake Congress leader”. Joshi said that Siddaramaiah was trying to appease his Italy-origin leaders by criticising the BJP and the RSS to woo Muslims in the assembly elections. “He is dreaming of becoming the chief minister again but he should remember that people have already given the mandate of sending him home. So, he should search for a rehabilitation centre now,” the minister said. Joshi also noted that while the RSS never responds to criticism, being RSS followers, BJP leaders do give replies. tnn
