Congress infighting over power-sharing paralysing governance in Karnataka: MP Basavaraj Bommai
Haveri: BJP MP and former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has accused the ruling Congress government in Karnataka of failing to function effectively due to its internal tussle over power-sharing, saying that the party high command’s indecision has left the state’s administration paralysed and the people in distress.
Speaking to reporters in Haveri on Saturday, Bommai said the Congress government has been embroiled in internal conflict since the day it came to power. “On one side, the Chief Minister’s camp says Siddaramaiah will continue for five years, while on the other, Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar’s supporters are claiming that he will take over as Chief Minister soon,” he said.
Bommai alleged that even the Congress high command is divided into two groups, which has led to the ongoing uncertainty. “One group supports Siddaramaiah, and the other backs D.K. Shivakumar. The high command is unable to put a full stop to this power struggle,” he remarked.
Referring to the ED investigation against Congress MLA K.C. Veerendra Pappi over alleged money transfers related to the Bihar elections, Bommai said, “The Enforcement Directorate is investigating where Veerendra got the money from and how much more is involved. The truth will come out after the probe.”
He also criticised the Congress government, claiming that financial mismanagement has forced it to introduce schemes like the Indira Kit, saying, “The Siddaramaiah government has run out of money, and these schemes are merely attempts to divert public attention.”
