BJP Criticizes Congress and BRS Amid Portfolio and Coal Scam Allegations

BJP spokesperson NV Subhash attacked Congress over internal conflicts in Karnataka regarding portfolio assignments, accusing the party of deceit and prioritizing self-interest. He dismissed BRS's coal scam claims and urged an independent probe into Telangana's governance, highlighting alleged financial mismanagement spanning over a decade.

BJP spokesperson NV Subhash launched a scathing critique on Saturday, accusing the Congress of internal conflicts regarding the portfolio allocations in Karnataka's government. Subhash alleged that Congress has 'cheating in its DNA,' emphasizing turmoil within the party as leadership changes unfold. He claimed Congress made false promises to voters, expecting them to overlook these commitments.

Subhash pointed to disagreements within Karnataka Congress over newly inducted ministers' portfolios, citing senior MLA Ramalinga Reddy's appointment as water resource minister rather than in the financially lucrative Bangalore Development Authority, which he reportedly desired. This, according to Subhash, exemplifies Congress's focus on internal gains rather than public welfare, cheating on Karnataka's electorate.

Turning to Telangana, Subhash dismissed BRS working president KT Rama Rao's allegations of a Singareni coal scam as 'laughable,' criticizing BRS's decade-long rule for alleged financial mismanagement both publicly and within employee funds. He described KTR's communication to the Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy as an 'eyewash' and called for a third-party investigation to shed light on alleged past irregularities.
