She said while speaking to a crowd in Indi, Vijayapura, that “In the last three and a half years, they (BJP) have looted Rs 1.5 lakh crore from Karnataka.”
She added, “With the amount of money they looted, you could have built 100 AIIMS hospitals, 30,000 smart classrooms and houses for 30 lakh poor people. Today they cannot talk about your issues in front of you, so every day they raise some new issue which has no meaning for your development.”
