He stated, “The Governor’s decision is an act of shameless unconstitutionality by the Governor, who is hell-bent upon bulldozing the law and the Constitution to carry further BJP’s conspiracy.”
He further alleged that the BJP is trying to undermine the mandate given by the people of Karnataka to the Congress party in the 2023 Assembly Elections. Surjewala said, “PM Modi and the BJP are unable to digest their loss in the State and have tried every trick in the book to defame and destabilize the Congress Government.”
