Even as thousands of migrant labourers are stranded in Delhi, struggling to reach their home towns in distant parts of India, the BJP National General Secretary B L Santhosh saw mischief in the large-scale exodus of migrant labourers' in the national capital.
In a series of tweets, Santhosh, who is BJP General Secretary (Organisation), wondered why there was no similar exodus in Bengaluru which is just 36 km away from Tamil Nadu border and Andhra Pradesh border with Tamil Nadu.
Santhosh tweeted, "Tamilnadu border is only 36 Kms from Bengaluru... Andhra is less than 100 Kms from Chennai.No migrant labourers exodus. Why only from Delhi...? Something amiss here. Is somebody playing mischief...? Very purpose of #LockDown is getting defeated."
