BJP president Amit Shah today slammed the Congress over the recovery of thousands of allegedly fake voter identity cards in Karnataka, claiming that the ruling party in the state was creating fictitious voters to rig the Assembly polls as it had read the writing on the wall that its rule was ending.

In a number of tweets, Shah hit out at the Congress, saying that it should be ashamed of itself as everything about the party was "fake - their tears for the poor, their claims of development, their commitment to social justice."
Senior Congress leader Anand Sharma, however, dubbed the incident as "stage managed" and said, "The Election Commission must take action, and a police case be registered."
