‘Not People’s But Advertisement-Driven Govt’: K’taka BJP slams Congress

Gadag: Karnataka BJP on Tuesday slammed the Congress government in the state over the price hike of essential commodities on Tuesday, saying that the government is an ‘advertisement-driven government’. “This is not a people’s government. It is an advertisement-driven government. They are using newspapers and TV channels to deceive people through advertisements. Even after hiking fuel prices, Karnataka is not receiving any real benefits or seeing development,” said Karnataka BJP state chief and MLA BY Vijayendra, while addressing a public rally as part of the 'Janakrosh Yatra' in Gadag.

He pointed out that the state has increased petrol prices by Rs 3.50 and diesel by Rs 5.50 per litre, while simultaneously spending heavily on advertisements about guarantee schemes. He said the Congress government’s continuous price hikes are a major concern.
