Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP president B.Y. Vijayendra has said that coordination committees between the BJP and JD(S) will be formed soon after consultations with party leaders.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday after meeting Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy to extend Diwali greetings, Vijayendra said discussions were held on the current political situation in the state. “Within the next 8–10 days, names for the coordination committee will be finalised and sent to Kumaraswamy,” he said.
Vijayendra noted that Kumaraswamy had suggested forming two coordination panels, one for the Greater Bengaluru region and another for the rest of the state, given the upcoming elections to the Greater Bengaluru Authority.
Criticising the Congress government, Vijayendra said, “The administration has deteriorated under the present regime. Bengaluru and the entire state are suffering due to poor governance. The condition of city roads and basic infrastructure is deplorable.”
He also took exception to the government’s response to civic advice from industry leaders. “Prominent figures like Mohandas Pai and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw have made constructive suggestions on improving Bengaluru’s roads, but the government has ignored them. Instead, ministers have chosen to insult such respected individuals, which reflects poorly on the administration,” he remarked.
Vijayendra further alleged that illegal gambling activities like matka and betting rackets were flourishing in several districts, including Shivamogga, with the support of ruling party legislators and police officials. “Many have been pushed to suicide because of these rackets. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar boast about their ‘guarantee schemes’ as if they’re a national model, while the ground reality tells another story,” he said.
Terming the government’s guarantees as “hollow promises,” Vijayendra warned that people are closely watching the misuse of public resources. “In the coming days, the BJP and JD(S) will jointly decide on launching protests against this government,” he added.
Taking a dig at IT Minister Priyank Kharge, Vijayendra said, “I don’t know what made Priyank Kharge speak ill of the RSS. Maybe it’s a political stunt to gain attention or a move to secure a higher post. He now stands isolated, trying to cover up the failures of the Congress government. The BJP’s route march in Chittapur on November 2 will be held successfully,” he asserted.
