CM is using diversionary tactics: Vijayendra
Meanwhile, BJP state president BY Vijayendra said, “I don’t think Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is serious about protecting the interests of the people of Karnataka. So many scams are happening. They are using diversionary tactics. This shows that the Chief Minister is not serious. I urge the Chief Minister to take everyone into confidence and withdraw the bill.”
‘Be ready to face the anger of the people of Karnataka’
“Why did you bring a bill to give jobs to Karnataka people? Why did you put it on hold? Why play with the lives of Karnataka people? Do you need Karnataka people to insult? The government should introduce a bill to provide reservation in (private sector) jobs for Karnataka people. The bill will give hope to lakhs of unemployed people in rural areas, who are deprived of job opportunities despite their qualifications. Or else be ready to face the wrath of Karnataka people,” BJP state president B Y Vijayendra asked on ‘X’.
