<p>Bengaluru: Launching a broadside against the BJP leaders, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday alleged that state leaders C T Ravi and C N Ashwath Narayan were spreading fake news and dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to expel them from the party.</p>.<p>In a press statement, Siddaramaiah alleged: “The BJP is known to spread fake news and its full form should have been ‘Bogale Janata Party’.

Yediyurappa had acknowledged that it was not possible for the BJP to fulfill promises made during elections. The reality is that the BJP did not fulfill promises made in 2008 or in 2018. They did not fulfill more than 90% of their promises made in 2018. This highlights their lack of commitment... I had described them as betrayers and cheaters,” the CM charged.</p>
