NDA Government formed by mistake, will fall soon: Mallikarjun Kharge
New Delhi: Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge has stirred controversy by asserting that the current NDA government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was formed under erroneous circumstances and lacks the people's mandate.
Addressing reporters in Bengaluru today, Kharge expressed skepticism about the stability of the government, suggesting it could collapse at any moment.
Kharge emphasized, "NDA government has been formed by mistake. Modi ji doesn't have the mandate. It's a minority government. This government can fall anytime." His comments come amidst recent speculations regarding the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) challenges in maintaining its coalition alliances.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the NDA coalition secured 293 seats out of the 543-member house, with BJP alone obtaining 240 seats, significantly lower than the 272 required for a clear majority. The coalition's formation relied on support from allies including N Chandrababu Naidu's TDP, Nitish Kumar's JDU, Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, and Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party-Ram Vilas.
Responding to Kharge's critique, leaders from the NDA dismissed his remarks, with leaders from Janata Dal (United) pointing out historical parallels where the Congress had similarly formed minority governments and maneuvered political alliances to secure stability.

Miscreants decamp with 70 kg silver articles from jewellery shop in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): Unidentified miscreants allegedly broke into a jewellery shop here and decamped with approximately 70 kg of silver articles worth crores of rupees, police said on Friday.
The incident was reported at a jewellery shop near 8th Mile, Havanur, on April 28, they said.
According to police, the accused are suspected to have entered the premises from the rear after breaking open the lock and drilling a hole through the wall of the shop.
The incident came to light at around 7 am on April 28 when shop staff opened the premises and discovered signs of forced entry and extensive damage to the rear section of the building, following which they alerted police authorities.
Preliminary estimates indicate that around 70 kg of silver articles, worth crores, were stolen. Most of the silver items displayed in the cupboards were taken, while valuables kept in the locker remained intact, a senior police officer said.
Police said CCTV cameras inside the shop were not functioning. Efforts are underway to identify the suspects using footage from cameras installed in the vicinity.
The miscreants also allegedly took away the Digital Video Recorder (of CCTV) of an adjacent shop, the officer added.
Investigators are also examining the tools and techniques used to gain access to the shop, suspecting the involvement of a professional gang with prior knowledge of the store layout.
A case has been registered at Bagalagunte Police Station, and further investigation is underway to identify and apprehend the accused, police said.
