Trivedi Questions Congress’ Model Amid Alleged Right‑Wing Alliances

During a media interaction at the BJP headquarters on Friday, Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi raised serious concerns about the governing model employed by the Congress party in states where it holds power. He pointed out that both Telangana and Karnataka, under Congress influence, appear to rely on a strategy of appeasement, corruption, and collusion with right‑wing elements. Trivedi cited statements by Kerala Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who confessed that the Special Intensive Review (SIR) of voter lists furnished Congress with a tactical edge by scrubbing out fake voters inserted during a previous left‑leaning rule. He also highlighted Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s directive for party workers to cooperate fully with the SIR process, underscoring the legitimacy of the exercise. The BJP spokesperson condemned Congress for now attacking the SIR, labeling the move as contradictory and politically motivated. He reminded listeners that multiple judicial rulings have affirmed the SIR’s legality and its role in safeguarding the electoral process. Trivedi challenged the opposition’s tone in a recent Supreme Court correspondence, describing it as haughty and akin to the language of the emergency period. He argued that Congress’s failure to question the Gandhi family’s dependence on the Samajwadi Party for the Amethi seat further exposes an underlying lack of transparency. In closing, Trivedi contrasted the development‑centric "Vibrant Gujarat" model championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with what he termed Congress’s governance approach rooted in short‑term appeasement and unethical practices.
