Congress is targeting constitutional institutions through protests, says C.T. Ravi

On Thursday, BJP MLC C.T. Ravi addressed a press conference in Hubballi and accused the Congress of targeting constitutional institutions through protests, according to a report by Kiran Bakale. Ravi alleged that Congress leaders should resign from their positions in various State governments before protesting against the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

He also pointed fingers at foreign influences, claiming that they are using funds to sow unrest and undermine India’s growth. Ravi further accused the Congress of flip-flopping on the reliability of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), pointing out that the party initially questioned their credibility but later used them to win elections.

The BJP MLC accused Congress leaders of orchestrating a sting operation involving former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to maintain control over him. He further criticized the Congress government's focus on issues like the sting operation, drought, and power supply, rather than addressing pressing concerns such as the water shortage and inadequate electricity.

Ravi highlighted the strain the Congress government's guarantee schemes have placed on public services, specifically mentioning the Shakti scheme's impact on State transport corporations. He accused the State government of exacerbating price inflation and corruption, citing several scams as evidence of Congress government failures.
