Responding to Kharge’s remark, Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai said that this type of statement came out in desperation.
“There is a poison in the mind of Kharge. It’s a prejudiced mind towards PM Modi and BJP. This kind of thinking comes because of desperation as they are unable to fight him politically and they are seeing that their ship is sinking… People will teach them a lesson,” said Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai.
