Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra attacked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy D K Shivakumar over their call for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resignation. The demand follows a fuel price hike, which Siddaramaiah linked to Modi's economic mismanagement.
Vijayendra argued the Congress was also responsible, citing their past decisions to increase fuel prices by hiking taxes. He questioned their protest motives, suggesting it was mere opposition for opposition's sake amid a challenging global economic backdrop.
The BJP leader played down allegations that the fuel price hike was purposely delayed until post-election and defended Modi's decision-making, emphasizing decisions are made for the country's and people's best interests.
