Political fireworks lit up Bengaluru as Priyank Kharge, Karnataka government minister, dismantled BJP’s narrative on AI Impact Summit protests. In a candid media briefing Tuesday, he branded their criticism a diversion tactic.
‘BJP hypes this to conceal epic failures,’ Kharge charged, citing Nitin Gadkari’s overlooked Commonwealth Games protests. The selective memory, he said, reveals their game plan.
On the summit’s bungled logistics, Kharge deemed it mismanaged chaos. ‘Prioritize what investors and delegates say—not Congress’s take,’ he insisted.
He cataloged BJP’s protest legacy in Karnataka: black flags galore, Rahul Gandhi ambushes under their watch. ‘They preach but don’t practice,’ Kharge quipped.
The Delhi summit spotlighted BJP’s broader lapses, a truth they’re evading. Touching on Congress internal dynamics—like MLAs’ letters—Kharge advocated decorum. ‘Ambition? Great. Voice it to leaders appropriately; rights come with responsibility.’
This confrontation amplifies Karnataka’s power play, where Kharge casts Congress as truth-tellers against BJP’s blame-shifting. With stakes high, his poised rebuttal could sway opinion, affirming people’s savvy in spotting genuine leadership.
