The BJP in Karnataka has criticized the state government for running ads in major newspapers opposing the VB—G RAM G Bill, alleging that it is inciting anarchy and creating discord with the Central government. State President B.Y. Vijayendra and Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka voiced these concerns during a media address at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru. Vijayendra condemned the government’s move, stating that the ads contain false information and accused the state of misusing public funds for these campaigns.
The BJP leaders emphasized that instead of attacking Central laws, the government should focus on promoting Minister Priyank Kharge’s achievements in Rural Development and Panchayat Raj. They criticized the use of public money for advertisements that allegedly tarnish the image of the Prime Minister and Mahatma Gandhi. Ashoka highlighted that once a law is enacted, the state government should not oppose it, emphasizing that objections should have been raised earlier in the legislative process.
Ashoka further accused the Congress of misusing funds under the MGNREGA scheme and distorting Mahatma Gandhi’s statements. He announced plans for a protest in the House, in collaboration with the JD(S), against what they perceive as an insult to Gandhi’s legacy.
