'Operation Hast' undertaken in Karnataka in fear of LS poll performance: Bommai


Hubballi, Aug 25 (IANS): Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said the 'Operation Hast' is being undertaken by the Congress in fear of failure in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking to reporters here, Bommai said, "The surveys in this connection have confirmed that the Congress will get fewer seats. If this happens, it will have a direct bearing on the state government in Karnataka.

"In this background, the Congress government is conspiring to pull leaders from other parties and win more seats. The Congress won’t succeed in its attempt."

When asked about the 'Operation Hast' of the Congress, Bommai stated that CM Siddaramaiah's government is fearful about the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Bommai also charged that the Congress government is issuing notices to journalists who are reporting about corruption and other illegalities and violating the freedom of the press and freedom of speech. "The government is practising dictatorship," he said.

The Karnataka Congress party has started welcoming prominent leaders from the opposition parties in the state. Senior leader Ayanur Manjunath from JD(S) and S.P. Nagarajegowda, who contested against BJP MLA B.Y. Vijayendra as an independent candidate and secured second position in the Assembly elections, has joined the Congress party in the presence of DyCM and Karnataka Congress President D.K. Shivakumar at the party headquarters in Bengaluru.

Shivakumar said that he was happy that the majority of leaders are joining the Congress party.

"During the Assembly elections, the party suffered because of a lack of appropriate social engineering. The mistakes would be rectified during the Lok Sabha elections," he added.

Shivakumar also stated that anything can happen in politics. The Congress is attempting to pull about 15 prominent leaders majorly from the BJP and also from JD(S). Following the victory in the Assembly elections, Congress wants to win more than 20 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. It had managed to win only one seat in the 2019 Parliamentary elections.

    Do you have Frobenius with operation Hastha?. You people started first by buying corrupt MLA’S from other parties and now you are crying about it. People has been watching your and parties behaviour since lost election. They surely don’t want hooligans to represent them.

    When BJP was proudly proclaiming Operation KAMALA it was all HUNKY DORY -- nothing to do with nervousness ------now they are getting taste of their own medicine---- (although Congress should be wary taking in deserters -- should build their own loyal team --)-- Politicians are the smartest -- and if Congress has no hope after LOK SABHA as inferred. by SHRI BOMMAI -- then why they will risk joining congress --- The fact of the matter is-- BJP is headless -- rudderless -- Cannot find a Leader of Opposition -- most basic -- and lot of infights... not revealed by GODI MEDIA
