Bengaluru, Nov 20 (NationPress) The President of Karnataka BJP and MLA, B.Y. Vijayendra, remarked on Thursday that following the results of the Bihar elections, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has effectively become absent from the political landscape.

While addressing the media, he responded to inquiries concerning the situation.

"Throughout the Bihar elections, Rahul Gandhi attempted to attract voters by alleging 'vote theft'. Post-election, he seems to have disappeared entirely," he stated.

"He was under the misconception that voters would support him. However, the informed electorate of Bihar has delivered a significant setback to the Congress. It would benefit him if he wakes up and engages responsibly as an Opposition leader," BJP's Vijayendra expressed.

In answering another question, Vijayendra noted, "Citizens in states where they entrusted Congress with power now feel neglected; they sense a betrayal."

He further commented on statements from Congress Ministers in Karnataka, saying, "Approximately half of the Ministers and MLAs believe the Chief Minister should be replaced. Overall, if you were to ask us as the Opposition, the voters who brought Congress to power are disillusioned."

"It's not solely about the Rs 7 crore heist in Bengaluru; previously, there was a theft in Bidar involving cash meant for ATM replenishment. To this day, there has been no clarity on that matter. The law and order situation in the state has completely deteriorated. If you consult the Home Minister, he lacks any information," Vijayendra criticized, asserting that State Home Minister G. Parameshwara is ineffective.

He insisted that the State Home Minister must provide answers.

In response to another inquiry, Vijayendra stated, "For the last couple of months, D.K. Shivakumar has been speaking very ambiguously. One fact remains – farmers in the state are struggling. There is a lack of developmental initiatives. Even the MLAs from the ruling party feel powerless and are voicing their dissatisfaction against the Chief Minister."

"The internal competition for the CM position within Congress in Karnataka is escalating daily. The poor, farmers, and the general populace have nearly forgotten that there is actually an elected government in this state," he added.

"We have received information that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Udupi Math on November 28. It seems likely he will come; based on our information, I have already had preliminary discussions with all our MLAs and MPs," he concluded.
