Let's look into his background. Let's see what he is responsible for. Let's see how he does politics. Also, don't forget that he is a murder accused. This is fundamental. The president of the BJP is a murder accused. That is the truth. The party that talks about honesty and decency has a person who has been accused of murder as its president."

Also, why Prime Minister Modi has given eight tickets to the Reddy brothers, who have stolen Rs. 35 000 crores of the Karnataka's people money? Prime Minister should answer these questions," Congress president said.
