The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday accused Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of \u201chigh command appeasement” after a social media post by the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) promoted Wayanad in neighbouring Kerala as a tourist destination.<\/p>\n

The party claimed the move was an attempt to please Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, who represents Wayanad in Parliament.<\/p>\n

The controversy began when KSTDC shared a post on X on Tuesday (October 28) promoting its two-night, three-day tour package to Wayanad. The post read, \u201cSeeking thrill or tranquillity? Find both in Wayanad! Trek scenic trails, chase waterfalls & meet the wild with KSTDC. Your perfect nature escape awaits.”<\/p>\n

Reacting sharply, Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka accused Siddaramaiah of behaving like \u201cWayanad\u2019s District Collector and fundraiser.” In a post on X, Ashoka said the Chief Minister had \u201csigned off Rs 10 crore of Karnataka taxpayers\u2019 money to Wayanad at lightning speed,” referring to earlier financial assistance given by the state to the region.<\/p>\n

\u2014 R. Ashoka (@RAshokaBJP) October 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

He also alleged that while Siddaramaiah was quick to aid Wayanad \u2014 announcing Rs 15 lakh to the family of a man killed by an elephant and promising to build 100 houses after a landslide \u2014 farmers in north Karnataka were still waiting for relief after severe floods. \u201cFarmers are suffering, homes washed away, 12.5 lakh hectares of crop damage, but compensation still stuck in files, surveys, excuses, speeches and photo-ops,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

Ashoka further accused the Chief Minister of prioritising the Congress leadership over Karnataka\u2019s interests. \u201cThis is not charity. This is High command appeasement to save chair,” he said. \u201cKarnataka doesn\u2019t need a CM who bows to the Fake Gandhi Family, spends our treasury like it\u2019s High Command\u2019s ATM, and forgets his own state\u2019s farmers who put food on his table.”<\/p>\n

Former minister CT Ravi also joined the criticism, questioning why KSTDC, which is meant to promote Karnataka\u2019s tourism, was encouraging people to visit Wayanad.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes Wayanad belong to Karnataka? Or has KSTDC become Kerala?” he posted, alleging that the Congress government was \u201cpawning the honour of Kannada Nadu to please its party leader Priyanka Gandhi.”<\/p>\n
