All India Congress Committee President Mallikarjun Kharge has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of turning governors into instruments to harass opposition-ruled states. Kharge, while slamming the BJP, alleged that a new pattern of direct interference from the Centre has been troubling the Congress-run states.
While addressing a large rally in Hubballi on Saturday, Kharge alleged that governors are now receiving instructions directly from the central government to trouble non-BJP governments, reported ANI.
Kharge said, "BJP has taken governors under their control. They're causing trouble through governors. Except in BJP states, governors are harassing others everywhere," as per ANI.
Dismissing BJP's claims of political dominance, he added, "You're not permanent; this country is. They prioritise RSS and BJP first, then the nation. Teach such people a lesson in elections."
Hailing the Indian National Congress, Mallikarjun Kharge said, "We have empowered people with rights. But Modi is bringing laws to snatch those rights," as per ANI.
The Congress chief rallied the crowd with a spirited call, saying, "Shout 'Jai Hind' loudly! If it reaches the skies, it will reach Modi too." Congress criticises BJP’s interference through constitutional authorities. The remarks come amid heightened political tensions in Karnataka, with Congress intensifying its criticism of central interference through constitutional authorities.

The Congress chief also added, "His unparalleled love and devotion to the motherland, along with his unwavering opposition to communalism, continue to inspire us all to serve the nation," as per ANI.
Congress President Kharge, hailing Netaji Bose, also said, “Netaji Bose is remembered for his revolutionary leadership and enduring impact on India's independence movement.”
