The BJP has mocked the Congress’s internal power struggle in Karnataka, calling it an “OTT series of ‘Congress vs Congress’.” BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla criticized the party’s focus on “power, the chair, and leadership” over public issues. This comes amid a public exchange between CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar regarding leadership and promises.

Maharashtra cabinet minister and senior Shiv Sena leader Dada Bhuse said that he was confident that party chief and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde would make a comeback as CM.

Singh further stated that India has always believed in peace and dialogue, but said if it comes to our sovereignty and security, we will not compromise.
