Lie if you have to: BJP leader tells party workers

Mangalore Today News Network

Bengaluru, Dec 12, 2017 : KS Eshwarappa, Leader of the opposition in the Karnataka legislative council, finds himself in a soup after a video has surfaced where he is seen telling his party men, “Lie if you have to, but don’t admit you don’t know.”

 

"Did you know that Pakistanis hacked Indian soldiers to death during Vajpayee’s rule. But have you seen it? In such situations, say that Pakistan never dared to threaten us during Vajpayee’s period. At the same time, during Manmohan Singh’s period, Pakistani soldiers attacked and slaughtered Indian soldiers,” he is seen asking in the video.

BJP leader KS Eshwarappa, Leader of the opposition in the Karnataka legislative councilWhen it comes to Narendra Modi, say that the Pakistanis are never spared. Ten people were killed and Narendra Modi is a strong man. What’s wrong in saying it? There may not be much you know, but use Narendra Modi’s name. The entire world accepts the fact that Modi is a strong man, so what’s the harm in hyping.

The video has elicited several responses with Ravichandra Kenchaiah saying, "These people (BJP) are doing the same thing now, lying to the people.”

JD(S) leader YSV DattaIt’s unfortunate that politicians are increasingly stooping to such low levels. Earlier, there was a perception that one can win polls with caste, money and muscle power. Now we need to add lies as well.

KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao said, “Eshwarappa’s statement reflects the BJP’s stand, strategy and culture. They are already spreading a bundle of lies through their Parivartana Yatra across the state. The leaders are now urging their partymen to follow suit.”

Meanwhile, Eshwarappa said it was an internal meeting of BJP workers and refused to comment on the video.
