Congress Launches 'Bus Yatra' In Karnataka, Calls BS Bommai "Puppet"
NDTV
The Bus Yatra will be undertaken in multiple phases so that the leaders can cover all of Karnataka before the state goes to polls in 2023.
Gearing up for the 2023 elections, and determined to oust the incumbent BJP from power, the Congress in Karnataka today announced that they will launch their ambitious Bus Yatra campaign in Belagavi tomorrow. Unveiling the Prajadhwani campaign logo, DK Shivakumar, the Congress Chief in Karnataka, mounted a scathing attack against the ruling BJP for the "immoral and unconstitutional Operation Kamala".
"Karnataka's progress took a backseat as BJP got busy with rampant looting through 40% commission, forgetting more than 90% of their promises made during 2018 elections. They were busy focusing on communal politics and paralysing policies," he said.
Highlighting what he called the "failed policies" of the 'double engine government', Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah said that the campaign is being launched to "highlight corruption by the BJP government, and to expose the lies of the BJP government".
Yatras will be launched in all districts. Due to time constraint, the congress has been divided into two groups -- headed by DK Shivakumar, and Siddaramaiah.
