State Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivkumar has said that why is the BJP getting so much concern about our political agenda? We do not need to answer them. We are only accountable to the people of Karnataka. He said that Rahul Gandhi is not coming here only for political purpose, but our aim is to protect the constitution. We do not want the Election Commission to be part of the political process.
Rahul Gandhi will visit Karnataka on 4 August. There they will meet the Election Commission officials and demand action against the alleged rigging in several assembly seats of the state. BJP has become an attacker on Rahul Gandhi about this. The BJP has described his decision as ridiculous and said that if there had been rigging, then the Congress would not have been in power. BJP, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivkumar and Rahul Gandhi have been asked to apologize for misleading the voters against the Election Commission.
On August 4, the Congress party has organized several programs, although their complete information has not been given to the media yet. Karnataka Home Minister G. Parmeshwar said that Rahul Gandhi can address workers at Freedom Park in Bengaluru during his visit. It is believed that this visit of Rahul Gandhi can be very important amid reports of alleged tension between the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister and this party can add new enthusiasm among the workers.
Recently, news of differences between the two senior leaders of the party has been in the news. It is being said that two groups have been formed within the party and this conflict has come out many times. However, after the party high command’s intervention, the matter seems to be quiet at the moment.
