Congress infighting leaves Karnataka unrepresented at Davos, says BJP
Karnataka BJP on Wednesday said the infighting in the Congress party has left Karnataka unrepresented at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP on Wednesday said the infighting in the Congress party has left Karnataka unrepresented at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
Taking objection to the absence of a representative from the state at the international event, the Leader of Opposition in the State Legislative Assembly, R. Ashoka said, “When the Chief Ministers of all major states are in Davos making a strong pitch for investments in their respective states, neither Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah nor any of his cabinet colleagues are interested in representing the state at an important world stage.”
“Thanks to the mysterious power-sharing agreement, Chief Minister Siddaramiah and his entire cabinet, including Dy CM D.K. Shivakumar, are engrossed in dirty power politics and one-upmanship, which has completely paralyzed Karnataka's economy and governance,” Ashoka slammed.
“Senior leader Sonia Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, and AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge want to be in power in Karnataka at any cost only because they need an ATM to keep the Congress party politically alive, not because it wants to serve the people of Karnataka. That is the root of the mess,” Ashoka charged.
At the ongoing Davos 2025 event that began on January 21, India’s ‘Team Bharat’ showcased its vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047, emphasizing inclusive growth, sustainability, and technological innovation. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and other dignitaries are taking part in the meet.
