After ushering in big ticket schemes during the first 100 days in power, the Congress MLCs on Tuesday questioned the BJP’s “chargesheet” against the Siddaramaiah-led government and alleged that “out of power, BJP leaders have no work, except levelling baseless charges against the government.”
Leading the counter-attack against the BJP, former Chief Minister and Congress MLC Jagadish Shettar said: “There is no substance in releasing the chargesheet against the government, which has implemented guarantees promised to the electorate during the Assembly elections.”
Speaking to reporters here, Mr. Shettar said: “The condition the BJP is going through shows that it is without a leader. Let the BJP first elect the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly. Let the BJP be aware of leaders quitting the party and joining the Congress in the coming days.” Mr. Shettar quit the BJP for denying him ticket in the 2023 Karnataka Assembly elections.
