Hubbali: Parliamentarian and BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel has clarified that there was no ‘Operation Lotus’ in the past, neither is one being done at present and nor will it be done in future.
Speaking to the media on Sunday, December 8, he said, “BJP was never involved in ‘Operation Lotus’ in the past and will not involve in future too. If the Congress leaders have failed to strengthen their party, then it is not our fault. Our party runs on principles and those willing to abide by it are always welcome.”
Lambasting at KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao on his allegation against the BJP on ‘Operation Lotus’, Nalin said, “It is better that Dinesh looks into his party matters and win the confidence of his party legislators. If their party members are unhappy with their leaders’ conduct and wish to join our party, we cannot do much about it. We can only welcome them to our party. Our doors are open for JD(S) leaders too.”
Meanwhile, he has opined of winning all the 15 assembly by-poll seats and said that there were no confusions within the party.
