Siddaramaiah Compares Yeddyurappa to Hitler’s Propaganda Minister

Siddaramaiah said Yeddyurappa learned from Joseph Goebbels how to repeat a lie a hundred times to make it the truth.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and state BJP president BS Yeddyurappa have locked horns once again on Twitter, and this time the online spat is over the Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam.

Soon after Prime Minister Modi’s Mysuru rally, Siddaramaiah took on the prime minister, blaming him for Nirav Modi’s escape from the country.

Dear PM @narendramodi ರವರೆ, since you are fond of talking about commission let me ask you-

You made common people stand in queues to deposit their money in the Banks & then let #NiravModi run away with over 12,000 cr of people’s money.

What percent of people’s money is that? pic.twitter.com/whvsOIFYEi

Yeddyurappa stepped in to counter Siddaramaiah, and alleged that the Karnataka government had failed to arrest Mehul Choksi, a key player in the PNB scam, who lived in the state.

Well well, this 'special someone' (who abandoned Mysuru), did allow the very same fugitive’s uncle #ChoksiScam,to escape from Karnataka by flouting the Civil Court Order way back in 2015.This is none other than our own #SleepingChowkidar @siddarmaiah. Is it part of #10PercentCM ? https://t.co/vjtnC6dlPn

Of course I don’t see a point in questioning about why the civil court order wasn’t obeyed by the KA Govt under #10PercentCM @siddaramaiah. Because he is someone who doesn’t heed to nor respect the court orders and judgments . #ChoksiScam

In his reply to this tweet, Siddaramaiah accused Yeddyurappa of learning to repeat a lie 100 times to make it the truth, from Hitler’s ‘Information Minister’ Joseph Goebbels.

Repeat a lie 100 times & people will start believing it to be true. You learnt this from Goebbels, Hitler’s Information Minister.

PNB, CBI, the Finance Ministry & PMO slept at their job & you want to blame an unexecuted warrant in a junior court in 2016 in an unconnected case! https://t.co/H9OXyIAodx

Apart from the Goebbels comment, Siddaramaiah also took recourse to sarcasm to counter Yeddyurappa.

FM Jaitley blames Bankers/Auditors for the #NiravModi scam. @BSYBJP blames me for the scam 😊. PM is silent. Maybe he is thinking of blaming Indira Gandhi for nationalizing the Banks or Lala Lajpat Rai for setting up the PNB

Blame anyone but themselves appears to be the mantra. pic.twitter.com/2JXfcWTbjQ
