"Shah has been saying this repeatedly. He has no moral right to speak about my government," the chief minister said, as he came under attack from Shah. The BJP president is on a three-day visit to Karnataka since Saturday to galvanise the party for the assembly polls that is due early next year.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting on Mahadayi water dispute issue involving Goa with floor leaders, MPs and MLAs here, Siddaramaiah said, "He(Shah) does not have morality at all, as corrupt are sitting next to him when he is saying things against us."
Sounding the poll bugle in Karnataka, Shah had on Saturday kicked off his visit to the state, declaring that theparty stands united and said, 'Ab Ki Baar, BJP Sarkar' (This time, a BJP government).
Terming the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government as "corrupt", he had asked people to overthrow it.
