"Beyond the glossy headlines and front-page ads, government stands exposed for rampant corruption" - B.Y. Vijayendra, BJP State President

4

Reveals systemic failures in healthcare and social welfare

State BJP President B. Y. Vijayendra said, "Beyond the glossy headlines and front-page ads, government stands exposed for rampant corruption, relentless price hikes, soaring farmer suicides, alarming maternal deaths, escalating crimes against women, Hindu lives under constant threat, deteriorating infrastructure, safe harbour for anti-national elements, skyrocketing unemployment, broken promises and failed guarantees, stalled development and suspension of farmer welfare schemes like PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, Raitha Vidyanidhi, and more. "

"The youth, women, and elderly are completely disillusioned. Their daily struggles are magnified by continuous price hikes and the increased financial strain on their savings," Vijayendra charged.

He stressed that "rising atrocities" and "crimes" have pushed Karnataka into the national and international spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

"Namma Bengaluru, once hailed as the Silicon Valley of the East, is now plagued by pothole-ridden roads, choking traffic, frequent flooding, and overflowing sewage. Tech giants are pulling out, investors are alarmed, and infrastructure is collapsing - but the government remains indifferent," Vijayendra criticised.

"Farmers, our backbone, were abandoned during their time of distress. Their cries are unheard by this heartless government," he stated.

Maternal mortality is at an all-time high, reflecting a shattered healthcare system and a government that has failed its most vulnerable, he noted.

Vijayendra claimed that when it comes to real work, the Congress government has nothing to show.

The only 'Sadhana' this government has mastered is "lavish spending" on offices and "deceptive" advertisements, he said.

Notably, the BJP, in full-page newspaper advertisements, released posters on how prices of essential commodities have increased during the tenure of the Congress-led government in Karnataka.

The BJP has provided a comparative chart of prices of essential commodities and the schemes and projects brought out during the tenure of the BJP and halted by the Congress-led government.

As a Bengaluru techie, I'm deeply concerned about infrastructure decline. The BJP has valid points about roads and flooding, but where was this concern when they were in power? Both parties play blame games while citizens suffer. We need solutions, not ads! 🚧

Price rise is pinching every household. Congress promised relief but failed to deliver. My grocery bill has doubled since last year. Government should focus on essentials rather than political events. BJP's price chart speaks volumes!

Farmers' issues being politicized again. Both parties use them as vote banks but do little when in power. Raitha Vidyanidhi was good scheme - why stop it? Agriculture is Karnataka's pride, not political football!

Maternal mortality statistics are heartbreaking 💔 Instead of trading charges, both parties should work together on healthcare. This isn't about politics - it's about saving mothers' lives. Shame on everyone involved!

BJP's criticism would carry more weight if they showed same energy in governance. Remember the potholes during their time? Political ads won't fix Bengaluru's problems. We need accountable leaders, not full-page blame games.

As working woman, safety concerns are real. But BJP's sudden concern rings hollow - crimes happened under their watch too. Instead of point-scoring, both parties should implement women's safety measures properly. Enough drama, we want action!
