BJP mocks Congress over Siddaramaiah; says new CM won’t benefit Karnataka
The BJP in Karnataka on Thursday hit out at the Congress party over the resignation of Siddaramaiah as the chief minister, alleging that whoever becomes the new CM would not benefit either Kannadigas or the state in any way.
The party accused the Congress government of stalling Karnataka’s development and said that its three years in office were marked by “misuse of funds, corruption, burdening the state with debt, and deceiving the youth”.
Taking to the social media platform ‘X’, the BJP said the drama over the power struggle within the Karnataka Congress had come to a temporary end.
“The three years of achievements of @INCKarnataka amount to misuse of funds meant for Dalits, looting money from the Valmiki Corporation, deceiving youth, pushing farmers towards suicide, increasing prices for common people, and burdening Karnataka with debt,” the BJP alleged.
The party further claimed that after “completely stalling Karnataka’s development” and spending three years indulging only in “collection, corruption, and commission politics”, the Congress had now merely put a “brief pause” in the form of a resignation. “Whoever becomes the new chief minister, it will not benefit Kannadigas or Karnataka in any way.
Their tendency to run the government by oppressing and exploiting the poor, workers, farmers, youth, women, Dalits, and backward communities will continue unchanged,” the BJP claimed.
Alleging that the Congress leadership’s only agenda was to “completely bankrupt Karnataka and turn the state into an ATM for the Congress high command”, the BJP said the people of the state would see peaceful days only when the “anti-people government” is removed.
The BJP also claimed that the “real super Chief Ministers” in Karnataka for the past three years were AICC general secretaries K C Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala.
“Their biggest achievement was allegedly turning Karnataka into an ATM and looting it,” the party alleged.
