Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai slammed the Siddaramaiah government on Thursday for repealing the Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill, 2022 (popularly known as the anti-conversion Bill) and said the Congress government is jeopardising the interests of the state’s people.

This follows Karnataka Chief Minister Siddharamiah’s decision on Thursday to repeal the Anti-Conversion law enacted by the previous Bommai-led BJP government. Bommai slammed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, saying that it appears that the Karnataka CM, who is ruling the state at the mercy of the high command, is jeopardising the people’s interests in favour of the high command.

“Who does the Government think it is appeasing by deciding to repeal the Anti-Conversion Bill that has been plaguing our society? It seems that Siddaramaiah, who is ruling the state at the mercy of the high command, is jeopardizing the interests of the people of the state in favour of the high command,” Bommai said in his tweet.

Launching a scathing attack on the Congress government in Karnataka, Bommai said that the government is resorting to politics of hatred and appeasement, ever since it came to power.
“Ever since the Congress government came to power in the state, it has been resorting to politics of hatred and appeasement, and it is acting as if just cancelling the decisions of the previous government is only its achievement,” Bommai tweeted.

Bommai further said that instead of discussing the lack of potable water in the state due to the failure of the monsoon, the present government is taking decisions in vengeance in the cabinet and is a bane to the state’s people.

The former CM tweeted, “Due to the failure of monsoon in the state, potable water has become scarce in many villages and the water table has collapsed. Failure of monsoon has dealt a big blow to the farmers. Instead of discussing this issue in the cabinet meeting and redressing it, the present Government has taken decisions in vengeance and is a bane to the people of Karnataka in distress.”

Bommai said that in the guise of revisions of textbooks, the state government is removing the lesson of Dr Keshav Balram Hedgewar, the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and another lesson on Veer Savarkar, which is tantamount to treason.
“The decision to remove the lesson on Dr Keshav Balram Hedgewar, the founder of the patriotic organization RSS, who infused all with patriotism and another lesson on Veer Savarkar; all in the guise of revision of textbooks, is tantamount to treason,” said the former CM in his tweet.
