Did ruling Congress surrender to AICC diktat to cater to party’s interests in Kerala?
Congress in Karnataka has faced criticism for its swift action to rehabilitate families, largely Muslim, after demolishing their illegally built houses. Pinarayi Vijayan, the Kerala Chief Minister, and other political observers have compared the demolition drive to "bulldozer raj" and questioned the motives behind the decision. The incident has drawn attention to the party's perceived prioritization of minority vote banks over local governance, with some questioning why similar actions were not taken for families affected by floods or land disputes in other parts of Karnataka.
