Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 4 (ANI): The All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary, K.C. Venugopal, on Sunday stated that they will not succumb to the conspiracy by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (Secular) to sabotage the Congress government.
“We will go to the people, explain the facts to them, and fight unitedly,” Venugopal added.
The Congress leader was speaking to the media after a meeting with ministers at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s residence on Sunday.
He said that serious developments in Karnataka state politics were discussed with the state ministers. The Karnataka BJP has a history of toppling governments. In 2018, the Congress-JD(S) coalition government was brought down by a conspiracy led by the BJP central leadership.
The Congress leader vowed that the party would fight these attempts to sabotage the government and pledged to raise awareness among the public about the benefits of the guarantee schemes and the opposition’s efforts to disrupt them.
He instructed ministers and legislators to visit their constituencies and communicate the government’s achievements and plans directly to the people.
Venugopal accused BJP and JD(S) leaders of trying to protect their interests and family members by creating issues against the Congress government. He mentioned the Prajwal Revanna case as an example of how these parties have been conspiring against the Congress administration.
He defended Siddaramaiah, highlighting his long-standing commitment to public service and integrity. Venugopal asserted that Siddaramaiah’s political journey and values are well-known and respected by the people of Karnataka.
Venugopal expressed concern that the BJP and JD(S) are trying to destabilize the government because of the Congress-led administration’s successful implementation of guarantee schemes for the poor. He claimed that these schemes are seen as a threat to the opposition’s political interests, prompting them to create controversies and undermine the government’s stability.
Criticizing the governor, Venugopal described the governor’s actions as unfortunate and indicative of BJP influence. He accused the governor of attempting to create a perception of instability by issuing notices to the Chief Minister.
The Congress leader dismissed the BJP’s claims of corruption as hypocritical, pointing out legal issues involving BJP leaders like Vijayendra and Prajwal Revanna. He assured that any genuine legal concerns would be addressed through appropriate channels and reiterated the Congress party’s commitment to supporting the poor and continuing its guarantee schemes.
He also criticized the central government for its inadequate support and funding for Karnataka in the recent Union Budget. Venugopal pledged that the Congress would continue to stand united and fight against these destabilization efforts. (ANI)
