Mr Gowda alleged that the Opposition BJP had hatched a political conspiracy to destabilise the Congress and non-BJP governments in the country. “We will aggressively fight,” he said and alleged that the Raj Bhavan has been “transformed into a BJP office”.

The Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre has been “using ED, CBI offices for sending ministers and chief ministers to jails” and making efforts to destroy democracy, the Minister said.
