Attacking the Karnataka government, BJP President Amit Shah said on 13 August that he had never seen an Indian establishment that was “as corrupt and shameless” as the one led by Siddaramaiah. He said, “In spite of several raids and arrests, the Congress does not even punish wrongdoers because they fear they would expose the government.”

He also asked people to overthrow the "corrupt" Siddaramaiah government because the grants by the Centre for various central schemes were not percolating down to the people.

You should at least ask Siddaramaiah where has the money gone? Someone asks or not, but I am going to come to Karnataka during the run-up to the Assembly election and ask for the accounts from Siddaramaiah.

Attacks Congress for Lack of Internal Democracy

Amit Shah also said that unlike Congress which “runs on dynastic principles”, BJP was among the few parties which has protected internal democracy.

Can anybody predict the next national president of the party (BJP). But one can predict with precision who could be the president of Congress after Soniaji decides to retire. Everybody knows it will be Rahul Gandhi. There is no confusion about it. There is no internal democracy there.
