In a recent development, Ramalinga Reddy's resignation from the Karnataka Cabinet has drawn sharp criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). R Ashoka, the Leader of the Opposition, mocked the Congress government, stating that it is impossible for a day to pass without infighting, and predicted that "more wickets will fall". He highlighted that Chief Minister DK Shivakumar had previously promised Reddy the Bengaluru Development portfolio, suggesting that Reddy's demand for it was justified given his experience. Ashoka accused Shivakumar of breaking promises, referencing an earlier commitment to make Satish Jarkiholi the party president. BJP state president BY Vijayendra echoed these sentiments, warning that the Congress government, plagued by corruption and competition for power, is on the brink of collapse. He asserted that Reddy's resignation signals a likely shift towards midterm elections in Karnataka, as the party's internal conflicts escalate over ministerial roles and portfolios.
