Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recklessly claimed there is infighting within Karnataka Congress.It seems the Prime Minister misread the recent media reports and confused the names of the parties, thinking it was Congress when it was actually BJP.I kindly request him to issue a clarification and correct this misunderstanding.
Just as communalism runs in BJP’s blood,so does internal conflict.These days not a day goes by without Karnataka BJP leaders attacking each other. Every day, BJP leaders entertain the public with a soap opera of accusations,blame games,and insults.
Dear PM Narendra Modi,if you take a moment to glance through the Karnataka newspapers in the morning,you’ll get a clear picture of the infighting raging within your own party. Perhaps then,you will stop pointing fingers at our party and instead focus on resolving the conflicts within yours.
Your party MLA,Basanagouda Patil Yatnal starts his day by accusing Yediyurappa and his family of corruption amounting to thousands of crores.Supporting these claims,other MLAs like Ramesh Jarkiholi and C T Ravi have also made various accusations against Yediyurappa and his children.
Recently,ousted BJP leader Eshwarappa held a meeting with dissenting MLAs at his residence. Should we call this infighting, or is it just ‘sweet nothings’?.
Infighting within Karnataka BJP is not a new phenomenon—it has a long history.The people of Karnataka have never given the BJP a full majority.Even when they managed to come to power through Operation Lotus, using illicit funds, no Chief Minister completed a full term.
From 2008 to 2013,BJP had three different CMs,and from 2019 to 2023, there were two.Our party has no role in this; these are the consequences of their own doing.
PM Modi seems to have forgotten that Yediyurappa’s imprisonment in 2011 was due to infighting within his own party. Afterward,Yediyurappa left the BJP, formed his own party,and insulted leaders like Vajpayee and Advani with low-level language.
Eventually he was brought back and made CM again, only to be removed later. Isn’t internal conflict the root cause of all this?
PM Modi,don’t throw stones while sitting in a glass house.There’s no need to worry about infighting in our party. Whenever we have come to power, we’ve always completed the full term.
After Devaraj Urs,I am the only Chief Minister to have completed a full five-year term,and now I am serving a second time. Despite your ongoing attempts to stir conflict within us,we remain united.
