BJP MP Slams Congress: Karnataka Bill Turns Welfare into Vote Bank Politics

BJP MP Sambit Patra criticizing the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurement Amendment Bill 2025, arguing that it transforms welfare schemes into a "marketplace of appeasement" for the Congress Party, focusing on religious reservations rather than governance.

Patra's remarks highlight a broader accusation against the Congress Party for engaging in vote bank politics, suggesting that wherever Congress holds power, it advances politics based on religion and internal benefits, a strategy he claims is not apologetic about and prioritizes over actual welfare schemes.

This criticism aligns with historical tensions between the BJP and Congress over policies perceived as favoring minority communities. Congress's actions were seen as appeasement, contributing to public and political backlash.
