The Karnataka unit of the BJP has accused the state government of misusing the Governor’s office to criticize the Central government. The state president and MLA, B.Y. Vijayendra, has urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to ensure a joint session of the Legislature is conducted without inserting content critical of the Centre in the Governor’s address. The state government has called for a special session on January 22, but the Governor has declined to address the joint session of the Karnataka Legislature.
The BJP leader highlighted that the Governor objected to the state government spreading false information and using the address for propaganda against the Central government. He criticized the state government for continuously engaging in propaganda against Central government schemes. Vijayendra expressed disappointment over the government’s use of the Governor’s office for such purposes, calling it unconstitutional.
Vijayendra further accused the state government of prioritizing politics of hatred over public development. He criticized the government for misusing the Legislature to target the Central government, labeling it an assault on democracy. The BJP leader alleged that the state government has repeatedly undermined the Constitution and federal system, failing to protect the interests of the people.
