West Bengal election result a warning signal for Congress in Karnataka: Pralhad Joshi

Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi  Monday said that the BJP’s victories in West Bengal and Assam would be repeated in Karnataka, as people of state will reject the Congress over its misgovernance.

Hailing the West Bengal assembly election results, Joshi described it as a strong message against the TMC government’s policies. 

The Congress in Karnataka would face a similar outcome for its alleged minority appeasement, Joshi told reporters here.

Joshi criticised the Congress for opposing the Women’s Reservation Bill, supporting anti-national elements, and criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

He said the party had already been rejected by voters nationally and would face the same in the 2028 Karnataka assembly polls.

He also accused the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government of corruption and prioritising action against the Opposition over public welfare and infrastructure development.
