Vijayendra accuses Rahul of turning prisons into terror hubs

Bengaluru, Nov 10 (UNI) Karnataka BJP president Vijayendra Yediyurappa on Monday accused Rahul Gandhi of enabling anti-national elements and attempting to destabilise Indian democracy through alleged foreign links, as part of a sharp attack on the state government over the prison security controversy.
"Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who frequently travels abroad and seeks external interference in India’s internal matters — is he now enabling these terrorists and using their networks to create unrest across the nation?" Vijayendra asked in a post on X, alleging that Rahul Gandhi's political conduct was emboldening radical elements.
He claimed that under the Congress regime in Karnataka, radical and ISIS-linked operatives were enjoying special privileges inside prisons. "Mobile phones, luxury comforts, and ample fun time — no wonder these radicals find it so convenient to operate under this shameless regime and treat prisons as their favourite holiday destinations, where everything is provided free of cost with taxpayers’ money," he said.
