The saffron party said that it will be holding a dharna in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue on Vidhana Soudha premises at 10.30 am on Friday to protest this. The saffron party further said that the "nakli (fake) Congress" convention was organised by "fake Gandhis".
Meanwhile, state JDS president and Union Minister for Steel and Heavy Industries HD Kumaraswamy also launched a scathing attack on the Congress, alleging that "fake Gandhis were flaunting themselves in Belagavi at the expense of taxpayers' money".
As the Congress named the Friday rally as the Jai Bapu-Jai Bhim-Jai Samvidhan convention, the BJP took strong exception to the party using the names of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr BR Ambedkar.
