Karnataka Congress mocks BJP for delay in selection of Opposition Leader in Assembly
Bengaluru: The Congress Karnataka state unit has mocked the BJP for delaying the selection of the Opposition Leader in the Karnataka Assembly, saying the BJP altogether lacked a leader.
Tweeting on this in its official handle on Monday, the Karnataka Congress said, “The BJP is full of worthless people who have faced utter defeat, people who have already retirement, who work only from home, all of whom know to speak rubbish about our government. Does the party not have a single member worthy of being the Leader of the Opposition?”
Deputy Chief Minister and President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) DK Shivakumar also demanded on Monday that the BJP select the Opposition Leader before commenting on their government. “The people have handed us power for five years, keeping faith in our capability, and we are now focusing on retaining their faith,” the Congress leader said.
