In a blistering critique, BJP Rajya Sabha member from Karnataka Lahar Singh Siroya on Wednesday hammered Congress over its media head Pawan Khera’s apparent flight from justice. Khera, evading Assam Police summons, is reportedly zigzagging through Hyderabad, prompting Siroya’s sharp rebuke.
As AICC media and publicity chairman and a key Congress Working Committee member, Khera’s predicament has become a lightning rod. Siroya, monitoring the developments closely, decried it as a damning reflection on Congress’s state.
The BJP leader mocked Khera’s choice to bypass Karnataka, attributing it to deep-seated party infighting that would deny him backing. “Watch this space—these divisions will explode soon,” he predicted.
Kerala offers no sanctuary amid Congress-CPI(M) frictions and CM Vijayan’s hostilities. Tamil Nadu remains tainted by DMK-Congress poll pacts gone sour. Telangana’s residents, Siroya argued, have no appetite for hosting Congress’s mess.
Siroya’s assault extended to Congress’s alliance vacuum: Himachal’s uncertainties, West Bengal’s Mamata as a last resort. “They’ve lost allies and face everywhere,” he asserted.
The coup de grâce targeted Rahul Gandhi: Why no call to confront authorities? Does ‘Fear Not’ apply selectively? And crucially, why skip the Gandhi residence for shelter? Siroya’s barrage paints Congress cornered, with BJP seizing the narrative in this high-stakes political chase.
