BJP Exposes Congress-DMK Split as INDIA Cracks Show
1 min read
Karnataka’s political landscape heated up Wednesday when BJP Leader of Opposition R. Ashok held Congress accountable for a shocking betrayal of DMK in Tamil Nadu. From the BJP headquarters in Bengaluru, he implored INDIA coalition members to reflect on this episode that underscores alliance vulnerabilities.
Ashok laid bare the facts: joint electoral foray with DMK, promises of coalition government, followed by abrupt abandonment post-polls. ‘Congress’s mask is off—they follow no ideology, just deceit. DMK trusted them and got burned,’ he stated emphatically.
The implications are broader, Ashok argued. ‘Other allies, beware: Congress’s track record with partners is dismal. Don’t repeat DMK’s mistake.’
In parallel, Sringeri assembly seat saw resolution. Post-Governor’s notice, Speaker U.T. Khader consented to oath for BJP’s D.N. Jeevaraj. Ashok stressed, ‘Official gazette and EC nod trigger oath by Governor or proxy—Speaker’s acceptance is a positive step.’
CM Siddaramaiah faced barbs for inaction on supposed irregularities—courts were the route, not delays. Congress’s EVM duplicity irked Ashok: embrace victories, challenge defeats.
Nationally, Rahul Gandhi’s varying EVM stances across states were called out. Ashok urged mature, responsible commentary on electoral processes to sustain democratic faith.
