In a scathing attack on the ruling Congress, Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra announced Friday that public discontent with the state government has surged to unprecedented levels. Addressing the media in Bengaluru, he pointed to the party’s post-election failures in delivering on promises, which have instead inflicted severe setbacks on ordinary citizens.
Vijayendra painted a vivid picture of an electorate poised for upheaval. ‘The people have made up their minds for change, and it’s unstoppable,’ he said. This sentiment comes amid upcoming by-elections in Davangere South and Bagalkot, critical tests for both parties as they gear up for broader state and national contests.
Party high command has greenlit candidates for these seats, streamlining preparations for a strong showing. Vijayendra expressed unshakeable faith in BJP’s dominance, citing ground-level enthusiasm swinging decisively in their favor. He branded the Congress administration as development-hostile and indifferent to the poor’s plight, focused solely on consolidating power.
With Congress’s re-election hopes dwindling, Vijayendra warned that voters will decisively reject this ‘self-serving’ regime. The bypolls, he added, will serve as a preview of BJP’s sweeping mandate, reinforcing the anti-incumbency tide that promises to reshape Karnataka’s political future.
