**BJP Launches Attack on Congress Government Ahead of Celebration Event**

**Mysuru, May 19, 2025** – Leading figures from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Mysuru, including former Deputy Chief Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan, have launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led government in Karnataka, just days before the government’s planned “Sadhana Samavesha” in Hosapete on May 20th. The event is intended to celebrate the government’s two years in power.

At a press conference held today, Mr. Narayan unveiled a poster campaign accusing the Congress government of widespread misrule and failures. He alleged that the government has ruined the lives of ordinary citizens through price rises, corruption, and the diversion of funds intended for Dalit communities.

“Nobody is happy in the State except the Chief Minister and his ministerial colleagues,” Mr. Narayan stated, highlighting the burden of inflation on the public. He questioned the justification for holding a celebratory event when, according to him, no real development has occurred and no new industries have been established.

The former Deputy Chief Minister also criticized Chief Minister Siddaramaiah personally, raising concerns about the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam and his recent remarks on India’s relationship with Pakistan following the Pahalgam massacre. Further, Mr. Narayan pressed for updates on the investigation into a series of maternal deaths reported at a government hospital in Ballari.

The BJP leaders present, including former MLA L. Nagendra and former Mayor Shivakumar, announced plans to launch an awareness campaign to educate the public about the alleged “all-around failure” of the Congress government. This campaign aims to build public support for the BJP ahead of future elections. The Congress party has yet to respond to the BJP’s accusations.
