PANAJI: BJP national president J P Nadda on Sunday ruled out any political crisis in Karnataka and praised chief minister B S Yeddiuyrappa. “Karnataka chief minister B S Yediyurappa has done good work, his government is functioning well,” Nadda said.
His comment comes against the backdrop of speculations that there could be a change of leadership in the southern state.
Yeddiyurappa is “managing the administration well. We don’t see any political crisis in Karnataka,” Nadda said.
A few days ago, the Karnataka chief minister, who had strongly denied reports that he would resign, said for the first time that he isn’t sure if he would continue as CM after July 26, the day his government completes two years in office.
Nadda also said the allegations pertaining to the Pegasus “snoopgate” are “baseless and issueless”.
“As I said, the opposition led by Congress has no issues related to the people, and because of this they are raising such issues,” he said on Sunday, concluding his two-day visit to Goa.
He also slammed the opposition for disrupting Parliament. “We are ready for all types of discussion and we are going for it, but Congress, along with other opposition parties, have become so disappointed that they have become issueless, and they don’t understand what they want to do.”
He said the opposition parties “don’t have guts for discussions”.
Nadda also claimed that the public knows that even after the opposition’s disruptions, Parliament’s productivity has crossed all records under PM Narendra Modi’s “dynamic leadership”. “We will continue working while the opposition follows its own path without issues,” Nadda said.
