Karnataka BJP president B Y Vijayendra accused the Congress government of targeting nationalist figure Vinayak Damodar Savarkar to distract from the MUDA ‘scam’ allegations. Vijayendra condemned the Congress’ diversion tactics, while Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao’s remarks about Savarkar’s dietary habits fueled the controversy. The incident followed an FIR against CM Siddaramaiah concerning MUDA irregularities.
