As Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched the International Big Cats Alliance (IBCA) during his visit to Karnataka, the Congress questioned the contribution of his government to tiger conservation and claimed that the Congress government in 1973 had introduced the Bandipur Tiger conservation project.
According to Karnataka Congress, Prime Minister and other BJP leaders are only after publicity. “It is true that they (Prime Minister and other BJP leaders) got publicity by going on safari. What is the BJP government’s contribution to the tiger conservation project? How much is the grant given? Why is the delusional “we did it” lying by @BJP4Karnataka while not talking about their actual contributions to tiger conservation projects? answer”, tweeted the Karnataka Congress. In another tweet, the Karnataka Congres unit claimed that the Congress government in 1973 had introduced the Bandipur Tiger conservation project. It also appealed to PM Modi not to sell Bandipur to businessman Adani.
“What Congress has done since 70 years” @narendramodi It was the Congress government that implemented the Bandipur tiger conservation project in 1973, where you are enjoying a safari today.
