Senior Congress leader and former chief minister criticised BJP for 'big talk' and no action even after five Dalit candidates won the recent Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka.
Latest flashpoint is between CM Kumaraswamy, who wants a cabinet reshuffle to save coalition, and Congress' Siddaramaiah, who is backing a cabinet expansion.
The bickering has only intensified between the Congress and JD(S), and a poor showing in the Lok Sabha elections could hasten the end for the uneasy coalition.
Karnataka's Congress chief and former CM Siddaramaiah took a swipe at current state CM Kumaraswamy, who said Mallikarjun Kharge shuold've been made CM years ago.
Congress took a jibe at the BJP by referring to 'Operation Kamala' from 2008 when it attempted to "poach-all" MLAs to stake claim to form the government in Karnataka.
In the last couple of years, Rohini Sindhuri Dasari has had run-ins with Congress minister A. Manju and the CM’s brother H.D. Revanna. But she’s undeterred.
