Why it matters
This highlights the ongoing political friction between the JD(S) and Congress in Karnataka, signaling potential instability or intense campaigning ahead of future elections.
Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Sunday launched a sharp attack on Home Minister Priyank Kharge, alleging that Ministers in the State government were making statements without proper information.
Reacting to a statement made by Mr. Kharge, Mr. Kumaraswamy said, “Priyank Kharge makes statements out of competition. His statement on the BMIC project is childish. He is speaking without information and merely for the sake of talking. He does not even know who is collecting the toll there.”
Warning Congress leaders, Mr. Kumaraswamy said they would face the consequences in the next elections for allegedly misleading people. “You are deceiving the people. You will be wiped out in the next election. Be warned,” he said.
He alleged that the Congress government was trying to make money through projects and misleading people through colourful advertisements designed to create a favourable impression.
