Ministers diverting public attention by focusing on irrelevant issues, says Pralhad Joshi
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi criticized the Karnataka Congress government for failing to address drought and governance issues. He accused state ministers of distracting the public with irrelevant topics and warned officials against electoral malpractice.
Why it matters
Reflects the ongoing political friction between the central BJP government and state-level Congress administrations.
“The Congress has completely failed in governance in the State. The government is yet to be fully formed in Karnataka and Ministers are diverting public attention by focusing on irrelevant issues,” Union Minister and BJP leader Pralhad Joshi said in Bagalkot on Sunday.
“There is absolutely no decision-making at the government level. There are not enough Ministers. Even big districts do not have district in-charge Ministers. But Congress leaders are not expanding the State Cabinet as their leader Rahul Gandhi is missing,” the Central Minister said.
“The State is facing serious drought conditions, but there is no one to listen to people’s grievances. No one knows if there is enough drinking water or fodder stock. But Ministers are diverting the attention of the people away from real issues. Law and order situation has deteriorated and the Congress is leading the State towards destruction,” he said.
