Cong sting operation fallout to intensify after Council polls: Karnataka BJP

Hubballi, Oct 18 (UNI) Karnataka BJP president Vijayendra Yediyurappa on Sunday alleged that the reported sting operation had raised questions about political manoeuvring within the ruling Congress and predicted that the party's internal differences over leadership would become more pronounced after the October 23 Legislative Council elections.
Questioning who was behind the operation, whom it sought to target and what its objective was, Vijayendra claimed that developments within the Congress pointed to deepening differences among senior leaders, including alleged attempts to target former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
The political fallout would become clearer in the coming days, he told reporters here, alleging a lack of mutual trust within the ruling party. He reiterated his earlier claim that Siddaramaiah could face pressure to step down as Chief Minister, adding that subsequent developments had brought the leadership question into sharper focus.
