Opposition Leader R. Ashok slams Siddaramaiah over Law and Order situation
Bengaluru: Karnataka Assembly Opposition Leader R. Ashok has launched a sharp attack on the state government, questioning the deteriorating law and order situation under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s leadership.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Ashok highlighted a series of recent crimes across the state, including the gang rape and extortion of a woman at K.R. Market in Bengaluru and the brutal assault of three laborers in Vijayapura. He also pointed out six cases of robbery, extortion, and theft reported in the past five days in Bidar, Mangaluru, Chitradurga, Mysuru, Anekal, and Hubballi.
“Swami CM Siddaramaiah, law and order has collapsed completely. The common man is living in fear, and there is no safe environment for women to move around freely. How long will you continue to cling to power while running such a disastrous government? Resign and free the people of Karnataka from this misrule,” Ashok said in his statement.
