Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra lashed out at the Congress party, labeling the AICC's OBC advisory council meeting as an 'election gimmick' aimed at the upcoming Bihar polls. Vijayendra challenged Congress to prove its dedication to backward classes by naming Mallikarjun Kharge as their prime ministerial candidate.

Vijayendra criticized the Congress party for its long rule, holding them responsible for the lack of progress among backward communities. He dismissed the AICC meeting in Karnataka as politically motivated, asserting that it had no genuine concern for the upliftment of marginal groups.
