Congress treats Karnataka as ATM: Amit Shah

Raichur (Karnataka), March 26 Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the defeat of the Congress in the assembly elections held recently in three northeastern states of Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura indicated the party's political downfall under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.

He said this while speaking after the foundation stone laying ceremony and inauguration function for several projects at Gabbur village in Raichur district of Karnataka.

With Karnataka Assembly polls due in the next few weeks, Shah targetted the Congress party on corruption and development issues.

"When the Congress was ruling the state, it treated Karnataka as an ATM. The party neglected development works in the state. How can the Congress develop the state?" he wondered.
