Bengaluru: “BJP Boosted by Heartland Wins, Plans Statewide Protests Against Congress in Karnataka” The BJP’s recent victories in three heartland states have energized the party’s state unit. Seeking to exert pressure on the ruling Congress, the saffron party has outlined a series of statewide protests, pointing to the Siddaramaiah government’s alleged failure to implement guaranteed schemes.
“Former CM Basavaraj Bommai Accuses State Government of Failing to Reach 25% of Guarantee Beneficiaries; Announces Protests” Basavaraj Bommai, former chief minister, alleges that the state government’s guarantees have not reached even 25% of the beneficiaries. He announced plans for extensive protests following the Belagavi session, highlighting the government’s failure in implementing guarantee schemes. The proposed rallies will be led by those who haven’t received the benefits.
“CM Siddaramaiah’s Assertion on Karnataka as Crucial Proves Incorrect, Modi’s Image Surges, Warns BJP Leader” In response to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s claim that winning Karnataka is like winning the nation, a BJP leader counters, stating that the election results contradict this belief. The leader emphasizes the increased popularity of Modi and attributes it to the lack of arrogance in his approach during the elections, despite being in a leadership position for a decade. The leader sees these poll results as a warning to the Congress party.
“After participating in the victory celebrations at the party headquarters in Bengaluru, Leader of the Opposition R Ashoka sarcastically commented that the election results underscored the lack of a ‘warranty on Congress guarantees.'”
“Referring to the guarantees as failures akin to Chinese products, R Ashoka remarked, ‘Since these elections were considered a ‘semi-final,’ voters opted for strong leadership. He predicted that PM Modi would lead the country for a third consecutive term after the Lok Sabha elections.”
“B L Santhosh, BJP’s national general secretary (Organisation), shared a picture of PM Modi on X, stating, ‘In the country, only one guarantee stands, Modi’s guarantee,’ with a caption reading, ‘Ek akela Modi, sab pe bhaari’ .”
