Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) event in Bengaluru, accused the Indian National Congress of betraying its long-time ally, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). Modi stated that the Congress has historically relied on the DMK during challenging political times but distanced itself once circumstances changed. He described Congress as a party driven by political survival and internal power struggles, particularly criticizing the Congress-led government in Karnataka for its focus on resolving internal conflicts rather than addressing public issues. Modi highlighted ongoing tensions between Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar as evidence of this instability. He contrasted Congress's governance approach with that of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which he claims is a stable political force amidst global uncertainty. Modi cited recent electoral successes in various states as indicators of the NDA's growing public support, asserting that the electorate desires solutions rather than political scandals.
