Siddaramaiah’s 1991 Election Loss Narrative Triggers BJP “Hypocrisy” Accusation

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently shared a personal anecdote about his 1991 election defeat, claiming a Congress candidate employed deceitful tactics to win. This revelation has ignited a fiery response from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

BJP Accuses Congress of Undermining Democracy

The BJP has sharply criticized Siddaramaiah’s narrative, labeling it a hypocritical attempt to discredit the democratic process. They argue that the Congress’s “Vote Adhikar” rally is a pathetic attempt to delegitimize the very system that has repeatedly shown them their place.

A War of Words

This exchange adds another layer to the ongoing political sparring between the BJP and Congress, particularly in the context of the upcoming elections. The BJP’s strong reaction suggests they perceive Siddaramaiah’s story as a potentially damaging narrative.
