The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) has filed a case with the cybercrime police against the Karnataka BJP's official X handle for posting defamatory content targeting Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister D Shivakumar, and other ministers.
Speaking to the media here, Vijayendra said that the BJP and Janata Dal (Secular) are jointly staging a protest near the Mahatma Gandhi statue at Vidhana Soudha against the "corrupt" Congress government.
Karnataka BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition R Ashoka on Thursday alleged that the Governor was subjected to disruption during his address in the Assembly.
Karnataka BJP President said that they will also "hit the streets," adding that the Congress is trying to "cover up their failures" after the CM expressed intention to approach the apex court.
Vijayendra said the Governor has not opposed the address itself, but has objected to the inclusion of false and misleading information and the use of common people for propaganda against the Centre.
"We firmly believe that the "Nation comes first, and the party next". For the Congress, however, it is always the party first, with the Nation relegated to the very end. The World Economic Forum at Davos was a golden opportunity to showcase our state as a unique and attractive destination
"Sriramulu and Janardhana Reddy are coming on the 17th. There is a state-level struggle. The party has decided to take up all the issues of the state government's failures and corruption and fight across the state. Law and order have deteriorated, so a struggle has been organised in Bella
Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Firday said that he has ordered an enquiry into the clash outside BJP MLA G Janardhana Reddy's residence in Ballari, in which one person was killed.
He said this after the Karnataka BJP delegation visited the Kogilu Fakir Colony, where houses were recently demolished during an anti-encroachment drive.
He further objected to the Chief Minister's decision to allot houses to illegal migrants, saying they were meant for poor Kannadigas whose applications are pending and said the BJP will fight against this "illegal order."
Speaking to ANI in Belagavi, Vijayendra said, "The High Court has not given a clean chit to the Gandhi family in the National Herald case. By protesting against the Election Commission and central agencies, the Congress party is trying to create anarchy in Karnataka and across the country
