Karnataka Congress Accuses BJP Of Using Kumaraswamy To Disenfranchise 50 Lakh Voters

The Karnataka Congress has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of using former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy to disenfranchise 50 lakh voters in the state. The allegation was made in connection with the Special Investigation Report process, though specific details of the process were not provided.

Congress leaders claimed that the BJP is leveraging Kumaraswamy to exclude a large number of voters, potentially affecting electoral outcomes. The party did not elaborate on the mechanisms or evidence behind the accusation.

The BJP has not yet responded to the allegations. Kumaraswamy, who leads the Janata Dal (Secular), has been a key political figure in Karnataka and has previously allied with both the Congress and the BJP.

The Congress party's statement comes amid ongoing political tensions in Karnataka, where all major parties are gearing up for upcoming elections. The accusation adds to the charged atmosphere, with the Congress seeking to highlight what it calls undemocratic practices by the ruling BJP.
