BENGALURU: The Karnataka BJP on Wednesday alleged that the drug menace is rampant in the state and accused the Congress government of failing to curb organised crime and lawlessness.
Addressing a press conference, Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka claimed that drug mafias were operating openly in Karnataka, forcing police teams from other states to come and make arrests.
“When I raise the issue of drugs, the Home Minister talks about what is happening elsewhere in the country. The police department itself is caught up in a transfer racket, ” he alleged.
Ashoka claimed that criminal activities had increased since the Congress came to power and accused the government of misusing legislation brought in to curb hate speech.
