H.A. Venkatesh, spokesperson for the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), rejected former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa's claims made during the 'Abhimanotsava' event in Chitradurga, where he predicted a BJP comeback in Karnataka. Venkatesh asserted that the Congress would maintain its power in the upcoming 2028 Assembly elections, countering Yediyurappa's comparison of Karnataka's political future with the recent electoral results in West Bengal, which he deemed 'completely false.' He criticized the BJP's economic policies, particularly the sharp increase in LPG cylinder prices following the West Bengal polls, suggesting that the BJP was imposing additional burdens on citizens during challenging times. Venkatesh also highlighted the Congress government's initiatives through five guarantee schemes aimed at providing relief to the public. He pointed to the recent bypoll results in Davanagere and Bagalkot as evidence of the Congress's ongoing support among voters.
