Karnataka ex-Chief Minister Siddaramaiah slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday by alleging that the government was trying to force anti-conversion law on the people through an ordinance route for diverting people's attention from the matters of corruption and lack of administration.

The opposition leader's remarks came a day after the ruling government in the state (BJP) promulgated an ordinance to give effect to the Anti-Conversion Bill in the state on Thursday.
