‘Population increased in Congress rule because electricity was not given’, Union Minister Prahlad Joshi’s tongue slipped

Pralhad Joshi: Union Minister Prahlad Joshi today, on Thursday, March 9, made a very strange statement while targeting the Congress in Karnataka. He said that the Congress gave very less electricity during its rule, due to not being able to give electricity properly, the population increased during the Congress rule.

Union Minister Prahlad Joshi had earlier targeted former Congress President and MP Rahul Gandhi. He had said that Rahul Gandhi was saying that he was not allowed to speak in Parliament. He further said that when he was speaking in the Parliament, he was making allegations without any facts. Joshi said that it is very unfortunate to make such allegations against the Speaker and the Chairman. With this, he said on Tuesday that the Congress has lost its mental balance due to being out of power for a long time.

The Union Minister had also fiercely attacked the Congress on the issue of corruption. He had said that the Congress party is the bloodsucker of corruption in the country. He said that from the days of Jawaharlal Nehru till Manmohan Singh, the party was involved in several corrupt deals. Let us tell you that the Congress party is fiercely besieging the Karnataka government regarding the arrest of BJP MLA’s son in a bribery case. The Congress had demanded the resignation of Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai.

Prahlad Joshi had said that being in power both at the Center and in the State, we could have avoided the raids, but we did not. He said that whoever does wrong should be punished. He said that the Congress has violated the powers of the Lokayukta.
