Mysore/Mysuru: KPCC Spokesperson M. Lakshmana has accused BJP of diverting public attention by prompting MP Lahar Singh Siroya to claim that Chief Minister Siddharamaiah is allegedly using ‘Urban Naxals’ to ensnare Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simmha, with the purported motive of securing his son, Dr. Yathindra Siddharamaiah, as the next Mysuru MP.
Speaking at a press conference at the Congress Office yesterday, Lakshmana asserted that Siddharamaiah would not engage in such tactics, emphasising that the Centre has overlooked the issue without initiating an investigation. He criticised the BJP for staunchly supporting Pratap Simmha and dismissed allegations made by figures like Lahar Singh Siroya as unfounded.
