Congress has no moral right to protest against price rise: CM Bommai

Bengaluru, April 11: Congress has no moral right to protest against price rise. The credit and record for highest price rise in the country goes to Congress, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said.

Speaking to media persons he said, the protest by Congress lacks credibility. Replying to a question on protest by PFI students, he said, a committee headed by the Chief Justice is examining the issue and a decision would be taken after getting a report from the committee.

In response to a question about Ananth Kumar Hegde’s letter about the support extended by Al Qaeda Chief to Mandya student Muskan he said, “I have no idea about the letter written by Ananth Kumar Hegde. I will speak to him and seek information about the issue. I will take appropriate action based on that.”

He denied reports of Sumalatha Ambareesh joining BJP. “She had come to invite me to her niece’s wedding. We also discussed some developmental works,” Bommai said.

Udupi tour

I am heading to Udupi today to participate in a slew of development programmes. Tomorrow I am scheduled to participate in organisational meetings of the party, Bommai said.
