Karnataka Opposition leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy has accused the ruling Congress party of orchestrating political sting operations. He has demanded a CBI investigation into these activities and criticized the party's handling of state issues and farmer welfare.
Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political instability and partisan friction in Karnataka, reflecting broader tensions between the ruling party and the opposition.
Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy on Tuesday (October 13) launched a scathing attack on the ruling Congress, calling it a “sting operation factory”, and demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the ongoing political developments.
Addressing a press conference in Yadgir during a campaign event for the upcoming Legislative Council elections, Mr. Narayanaswamy alleged that a sting operation was carried out, targeting former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to disturb him, even as he was resting at home and staying away from active electoral politics. While refraining from naming any individual behind the episode, the Opposition leader repeatedly asserted that the Congress party had reduced itself to orchestrated sting operations. He urged Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to hand over the matter to the CBI for a transparent investigation.
