BJP MLA V. Sunil Kumar has accused the Congress government in Karnataka of failing to deliver on development promises and mismanaging social welfare schemes. He alleged that the state is facing financial instability and has called for the government to dissolve the assembly.
Why it matters
This reflects the intensifying political rivalry in Karnataka, highlighting opposition efforts to leverage administrative grievances for electoral pressure.
Karkala MLA V. Sunil Kumar on Monday charged the Congress government in Karnataka with becoming anti-people by failing them even after nearly four years in power. It has become a “60% government” and the BJP will hold protests across Udupi district during this month, he said.
The MLA was addressing a meeting of party cadres protesting the “failure” of the State government, organised by the Karkala unit of the BJP. Despite presenting four Budgets, the government has failed to deliver the expected development, he said.
The government has not issued a single new ration card while cancelling over 6,000 BPL cards in the guise of verification in Udupi district, he alleged. While delaying payment of various social security pensions, it was planning to cancel old-age pensions for over 47,000 people in the district. Beneficiaries were also being harassed under the pretext of revision of the Gruha Lakshmi scheme, he said.
