Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah launched a sharp attack on BJP Lok Sabha MPs from the state, accusing them of failing to speak up about what he described as the Centre\u2019s \u201cinjustice” toward Karnataka.<\/p>\n

Speaking at an event to inaugurate road works in Bengaluru\u2019s Gandhinagar and Chickpet constituencies on Tuesday, Siddaramaiah said people \u201cblindly vote for the BJP,” even though the party\u2019s own representatives have remained silent on key issues affecting the state.<\/p>\n

Taking a jibe at Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya, Siddaramaiah said, \u201cThere\u2019s that MP from the South, Surya, I call him Amavasya, and the other MP, Shobha Karandlaje. They haven\u2019t opened their mouths even once about the injustice to Karnataka.”<\/p>\n

He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of showing \u201cvengeance” against the state after the BJP\u2019s 2023 Assembly election loss, claiming that the Centre had denied Karnataka its rightful share of funds under the 15th Finance Commission and withheld budgetary allocations for the Upper Bhadra Project. The Chief Minister also alleged that the rationalisation of GST had cost Karnataka nearly \u20b915,000 crore in revenue.<\/p>\n

Siddaramaiah questioned the contribution of BJP MPs and Union Ministers from Karnataka, including HD Kumaraswamy and Shobha Karandlaje, for failing to raise these issues in Parliament. \u201cBJP MLAs mimic what they have been taught by the RSS,” he said, recalling that when he once asked Leader of Opposition R. Ashok about the party\u2019s stance, \u201che told me they are bound by the RSS.”<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister appealed to voters to hold the BJP accountable. \u201cYou cast your votes saying \u2018Modi, Modi,\u2019 but what have your MPs done for the state?” he asked, urging Bengaluru residents to \u201cdefeat those who betrayed Karnataka by their silence.”<\/p>\n

Siddaramaiah also blamed the previous BJP government for leaving behind unpaid projects and a strained exchequer.<\/p>\n
