The rhetoric reflects intense political polarization and ongoing power struggles between major Indian political parties ahead of future electoral cycles.
Leaders of the Congress including KPCC president B.K. Hariprasad and Ministers came down heavily on the BJP, particularly former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and his son B.Y. Vijayendra in a public meeting organised at Shikaripur to mark the launch of the Bharat Jodo 2.0 yatra, on Wednesday. They also accused the BJP of fermenting communal hatred and deleting eligible voters through the Election Commission.
Mr. Hariprasad said that the people had given a fitting reply in the constituency repressed by BJP’s State president B.Y. Vijayendra. Recalling that Shivamogga district had given stalwarts in politics and literature. However, the image of the district changed with the BJP gaining support in the district.
