Bengaluru: In a bid to safeguard its workers from alleged atrocities by the Congress party in Karnataka, the state unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced on Sunday that it will launch a 24/7 helpline number. Additionally, the party plans to train a dedicated team, with the assistance of a legal cell, to manage and address issues raised through the helpline.
Tejasvi Surya, the Member of Parliament from Bengaluru South and BJP youth cell chief, highlighted the targeting of BJP workers during the Congress-led government under Siddaramaiah in Karnataka. He stated, "Many BJP workers have been subjected to false charges. To combat such injustices against our party workers, the BJP has decided to introduce a helpline number for all party workers in the state." Surya emphasized that the party is well-equipped with lawyers and activists throughout Karnataka, ready to legally fight any false cases. He further added, "Any BJP worker who faces the atrocities of Congress can dial the helpline number for assistance and protection. We will launch the toll-free number within the next week."
In response to the BJP's initiative, Karnataka Minister MB Patil appealed to the Chief Minister and Home Minister to consider establishing another helpline called 'Peaceful Karnataka.' Patil took to Twitter and expressed, "To ensure there is no spread of hatred in Karnataka and to monitor any such incidents, I request @DrParameshwara @PriyankKharge @DKShivakumar @CMofKarnataka to consider setting up a new helpline called 'Peaceful Karnataka.' Our agenda is solely focused on development, progress, and protecting the reputation of 'Brand Karnataka.'"
