Karnataka Political Row Heats Up: Accusations of Horse-Trading and Intimidation Fly
A political standoff is brewing in Karnataka, with the BJP and Congress locked in a bitter exchange of accusations. The controversy revolves around allegations of MLA poaching and intimidation tactics.
Congress Cries Foul, Alleges BJP Intimidation
Congress MLA Vijayanand Kashappanavar has accused the BJP of attempting to intimidate Congress legislators. He claims the BJP is threatening Congress MLAs with Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raids to coerce them into joining the saffron party. These serious allegations paint a picture of political pressure and arm-twisting.
BJP Fires Back, Accuses Congress of Internal Horse-Trading
The BJP has vehemently denied these accusations and launched a counter-offensive. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has accused senior Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D.K. Shivakumar of engaging in internal horse-trading, suggesting they are trying to secure the support of MLAs within their own party. Joshi’s claims add another layer of complexity to the ongoing political drama.
The Stakes are High in Karnataka’s Political Landscape
This latest clash between the two parties further intensifies the already charged political atmosphere in Karnataka. As both sides trade accusations, the situation remains tense, and the truth remains shrouded in political rhetoric.
