In a fiery press interaction in Bengaluru, Deputy CM DK Shivakumar charged the BJP with orchestrating a calculated power grab in recent polls across multiple states. The KPCC chief highlighted northern regions where, he claims, the saffron party bent rules shamelessly.
From West Bengal to Assam and Tamil Nadu, Shivakumar painted a picture of electoral foul play. He spotlighted the staggering mobilization of 25 lakh central forces jawans and the suspicious removal of 96 lakh voter names, calling it a ‘broad misuse of power.’
Kerala’s triumph for UDF was a high note, defying supposed LDF-BJP ties. Tamil Nadu voters, too, sidelined BJP partners despite DMK’s loss, thwarting communal agendas.
Shivakumar wasn’t surprised by Kerala’s two-thirds mandate; he’d forecasted it amid spirited campaigning. Unity among leaders paid off, and he extended kudos to all involved.
Southern outcomes unequivocally rebuff BJP dominance. On potential TVK alliance, he vouched for party loyalty over speculation. Reflecting on Assam hopes, optimism defines leadership, he noted.
These allegations intensify political rhetoric, positioning Congress as a vigilant watchdog against alleged democratic transgressions.
