Call for Effective Governance
BJP MP Lahar Singh Siroya appealed to the Karnataka government on Thursday, urging it not to sacrifice the state due to ongoing internal conflicts. Speaking with a news outlet, Siroya expressed hope for good governance in the state. He mentioned that D.K. Shivakumar had recently shown faith in the power of prayer, and he too prays for the people of Karnataka, wishing for effective governance. He urged the government to set aside internal disputes and focus on serving the public efficiently.
Concerns Over Political Turmoil
Siroya further stated that he hopes God grants wisdom to the current government so it can serve the people effectively. He reiterated his request for the government not to let the state suffer due to internal strife.
This appeal comes amid speculation regarding a change in the state's chief minister, as the Congress government recently completed half of its five-year term on November 20. This milestone has reportedly triggered a power struggle among key figures amid ongoing political turmoil.
Response to Congress Protests
In response to Congress's protests against the renaming of MGNREGA, Siroya labeled it as "party foolishness" and mentioned that this issue would be discussed in a special session of the Karnataka Assembly. He emphasized that the B-G Ram-Gi Act is highly beneficial for rural residents, suggesting that Congress fails to understand this and is behaving foolishly in their protests. He added that they seem more interested in impressing Rahul Gandhi, and when they confront us in the special assembly session, Congress's true colors will be revealed.
