BENGALURU: State BJP on Thursday passed three resolutions accusing the ruling Congress of administrative failures, corruption and diversion of SC/ST welfare grants, and another lauding the Union government for introducing the VB-G RAM G Act and granting national anthem status for Vande Mataram at its executive committee meeting here.
In the resolutions against the ruling Congress, the BJP leaders alleged that the Siddaramaiah government celebrated 1,000 days of assuming power without any achievement. It was only a publicity stunt and had nothing to do with the common man.
Accusing the government of encouraging corruption, they said multi-crore scams have happened in the Valmiki Development Corporation, MUDA, and the Excise Department. Large-scale irregularities have taken place in the implementation of the Gruhalakshmi guarantee scheme, they alleged.
Referring to the delay in clearance of contractors’ dues, the BJP leaders alleged that officials are seeking 60% commission from the contractors. Drug trafficking is rampant across the state, they charged.
The government has no concern for farmers, who are in distress due to price rise and crash in prices of their produce, they said and alleged even government employees attempted suicide due the “pressure” on them.
“BJP will stage protests in all districts soon against the government’s failures and maladministration,” one of the resolutions stated.
The BJP leaders condemned the government’s action of diverting funds allocated for the welfare of the SCs and STs to implement the guarantee schemes. In the name of AHINDA communities’ development, the CM is neglecting them. He is treating them as his vote bank, they alleged. “Siddaramaiah is only focusing on the growth of the Muslim community,’’ the BJP leaders said.
Referring to the bad roads and garbage issue in Bengaluru, they said, “Instead of reducing the burden on Bengaluru, the government has decided to set up KWIN city near Dabaspet, Aero city near Devanahalli and AI city near Bidadi, which will further congest the IT capital.”
Agarwal applauds BJP leaders
BJP National General Secretary Radhamohan Das Agarwal applauded the state BJP leaders. He said under the leadership of BJP state president BY Vijayendra and leaders of opposition in Assembly and Council, R Ashoka and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, respectively, the party will come back to power in 2028.
