Bommai told reporters that Congress is conducting its AICC session which is being funded by the Karnataka govt.
He said that this is totally unfair, using public money for political purposes, is unheard of and uncalled for, the CM should explain to the people of Karnataka, under which provision the money has been sanctioned and is going to be released, this is condemnable.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Thursday said that the mega public meeting to be held in Belagavi on December 27 is named as Jai Bapu-Jai Bhim-Jai Samvidhan convention.
Addressing a press conference at the CPED School grounds, he said, “We have declared this area as Mahatma Gandhi Navanagara.
The Congress Working Committee meeting would be held near Gandhi well. Mahatma Gandhi presided over the Congress convention in 1924.
He also said that it is a matter of pride that our own Mallikarjun Kharge is presiding over this convention. We are conducting this convention in the same 80-acre land which was the venue for the 1924 convention.
“We have organized this event to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1924 convention. It is not just a Congress party function but everyone’s programme. The CWC will discuss the challenges facing the country. Leaders from across the country will take part in the convention,” Shivkumar added.
