Congress has shown anti-women attitude by keeping them out of Karnataka ministry, says BJP
Opposition BJP members staged a protest in Bengaluru against women not getting ministerial representation
The opposition BJP has accused the Karnataka government of being "anti-women" for not including any women in the cabinet led by Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. On August 14, BJP legislators staged a protest outside the Bhuvaneshwari statue near Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru, voicing their discontent over the lack of women representation in the ministry.
BJP State unit president B. Y. Vijayendra alleged that the Congress government had behaved insensitively by forming the ministry without women members, despite it being publicly known that a woman MLC's name had been cleared by the party high command for inclusion. BJP MLA and former minister Shashikala Jolle criticized the Congress for using women to further its political interests, stating that the party was not ready to provide women representation in the ministry. Opposition leaders R. Ashok and Chalawadi Narayanswamy also participated in the protest.
