The ‘Mysuru Chalo’ Padayatra: Congress Hits Back at BJP
The BJP’s proposed ‘Mysuru Chalo’ padayatra is seen by the ruling Congress party as a sign of the BJP’s jealousy towards the overwhelming popularity of the Congress government in Karnataka. Chief Whip Saleem Ahmed criticized the BJP for trying to tarnish the image of the Congress, which successfully implemented the five guarantee schemes promised during the last Assembly elections.
Ahmed accused the BJP of hypocrisy, citing their past actions of destabilizing the JD(S)-Congress government through ‘Operation Lotus’. He questioned the moral high ground of the BJP in embarking on a padayatra, considering their history of undermining democracy.
Promising to expose evidence of corruption during the BJP and JD(S) rule, Ahmed warned that incriminating documents would be revealed gradually. The Congress is ready to counter the BJP’s allegations with concrete proof of malpractice.
