R Ashoka of the BJP criticized Rahul Gandhi's upcoming protest on alleged 'vote theft' in Bengaluru as a 'pre-scripted diversion.' Ashoka suggests the timing aims to deflect attention from Congress's likely losses in the Bihar elections.
Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, plans to participate in the protest on August 5. He previously claimed that Congress had identified 'vote theft' techniques by analyzing a parliamentary constituency in Karnataka.
In a related issue, Ashoka condemned Congress for approving a bill that reduces buffer zones around lakes in Karnataka, accusing them of risking Bengaluru's future for construction projects.
