Ashoka took a swipe at Kharge, tweeting: "Are you not able to see the situation where people, due to the lack of buses, are forced to pay double the price to travel in Tontoms (three-wheelers) and Jeeps?" Ashoka further criticized the Kharge family, saying they used the votes of the people of Kalyana Karnataka for the welfare of their own family.Also Read: Student Gang-Raped Near Coimbatore Airport: Police Shoot and Arrest 3 Accused

"Do not try to hide this failure by giving controversial statements about the RSS. The day is not far when the people of Kalyana Karnataka will ban the Kharge family and the Congress party," he warned.
