Karnataka Congress Crisis: What BJP said on compromise between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar
Karnataka Congress Crisis: Karnataka politics witnessed "breakfast diplomacy" on Saturday, but the BJP dismissed it as pure drama. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla launched a scathing attack on the meeting between CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar. He described the meeting as an exercise in "make-up over breakup." Poonawala sarcastically said that the two leaders should be awarded Oscars for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for the unity they displayed.
Attempt to suppress internal strife
Shehzad Poonawalla said that this is merely an attempt to suppress and hide internal strife. Citing statements by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, he asked why so many issues needed to be resolved when everything was fine within the party. He said the statements by Parameshwara and Veerappa Moily have exposed the turmoil within the Congress. The BJP spokesperson said that the people of Karnataka were not on the menu at this breakfast table of leaders; the leaders were only worried about power.
People have witnessed the previous Twitter war between these two leaders
The BJP spokesperson also targeted the Congress party on social media. He tweeted, "After the break-up, there's a drama of make-up over breakfast, but when will Rahul Baba wake up?" Congress once again prioritized power over people. Poonawalla reminded the public that the people have witnessed the previous Twitter war between these two leaders. He said that the images emerging today are not reality but a mere acting, aimed solely at keeping the Delhi high command happy and fooling the public.
JDS also raises serious questions
In this political turmoil, the Janata Dal (Secular) has also raised serious questions about the Congress government's functioning. The JDS wrote on social media that the high command now has to intervene even to serve breakfast. The party alleged that farmers in the state are suffering from falling sugarcane and maize prices, thousands of government schools are closing, and infrastructure is crumbling. T
he JDS said that while the general public is suffering, the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister are busy managing factionalism, appeasing supporters, and running to temples to save their seats, instead of focusing on the state's development. The real issues of the state have been completely ignored.
