National BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi held nothing back in his Friday press conference in New Delhi, leveling explosive charges of a Rs 6,000 crore alcohol scam against Karnataka’s Congress government. Crucially, these claims originate from the Karnataka Wine Merchants Association, detailing a web of bribes from liquor allotments reaching top officials.
Trivedi masterfully juxtaposed BJP’s development-centric governance with Congress’s apparent chaos. ‘People elect governments for growth and clean administration, not infighting,’ he stated. He spotlighted BJP successes: transformative schemes for daughters in Madhya Pradesh and innovative farmer loans in 2008 Karnataka.
In Congress-ruled states, the story is different—marked by relentless chief minister versus deputy chief minister battles, eroding public trust. Karnataka’s electorate, Trivedi said, has been handed a ‘monumental betrayal’ after their strong mandate.
On West Bengal, Trivedi praised the high court’s order mandating border fencing land clearance by March 2026, slamming TMC for prioritizing illegal immigrants’ votes over border security. ‘This court ruling is a damning indictment of TMC’s petty politics,’ he remarked, confident that Bengal’s voters will pivot to BJP.
As political temperatures rise, Trivedi’s critique reinforces BJP’s narrative of superior governance and national priority.
