Bengaluru, Jul 29: Leader of the opposition and former CM Siddaramiah has accused the ruling BJP state government of trying to implement its secret agenda by saffronizing the school textbooks.
Tweeting in this regard, Siddaramaiah said, "The decision of removing the lessons pertaining to Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed, Tippu Sultan, Sangoli Rayanna and Rani Abbakkadevi from the textbooks of 10th standard is condemnable. Official BJP government is getting weakened. Unofficial Sanghi (RSS) government is getting stronger."
"Minister Suresh Kumar said that there is no role of the state BJP government in removing the lessons pertaining to certain great personalities. Is the Karnataka textbooks committee above the state BJP government? Set that right immediately. Otherwise, accept your part in the act," he questioned.
"The state BJP government, which is unable to control the coronavirus pandemic, is trying to misuse the situation prevailing in the state and trying to implement its secret agenda by saffronizing the textbooks of school. Congress party will not tolerate these kinds of tactics of the ruling state BJP government. A protest might be inevitable."
