BJP Karnataka Targets Congress Amid Leadership Change, Calls Karnataka Government ‘Corrupt and Anti-People’
Bengaluru, May 28: BJP Karnataka on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the Congress government in the state following the political developments surrounding the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the ongoing leadership transition within the ruling party.
In a post shared on social media platform X, the Karnataka BJP termed the Congress leadership tussle as a “political drama” and claimed that the developments would bring “no benefit to the people of Karnataka.”
The BJP alleged that the Congress government’s three-year tenure was marked by corruption, misuse of funds and administrative failures.
According to the party, the Congress government’s achievements included “misuse of Dalit funds, looting of Valmiki Corporation money, betrayal of youth, distress among farmers, price rise affecting common people and increasing debt burden on Karnataka.”
The opposition party further accused the Congress government of paralysing development activities in the state and alleged that the administration spent the last three years focused only on “collection, corruption and commission politics.”
The BJP also claimed that the resignation of the Chief Minister amounted only to a temporary pause and would not alter the functioning of the Congress government.
The party stated that irrespective of who becomes the next Chief Minister, the people of Karnataka would not benefit under the present Congress administration.
In its statement, BJP Karnataka accused the ruling party of exploiting farmers, labourers, youth, women, Dalits and backward communities while continuing “anti-people governance.”
The BJP further alleged that the Congress leadership was turning Karnataka into an “ATM for the Congress high command” and claimed that the state’s financial condition had deteriorated under the current government.
The opposition party asserted that Karnataka would witness relief only if the present Congress government exits power at the earliest.
