‘Rubber stamp CM’: K’taka BJP criticises Cong over delay in portfolio allocationBengaluru: Karnataka Unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday criticised the Congress government over the delay in allocating portfolios to the newly inducted ministers, alleging that the state administration was functioning under the control of the party high command in New Delhi. Questioning the delay, the senior BJP leader took a swipe at Chief Minister D.K. The BJP leader alleged that the Congress government was no longer functioning independently and was instead being operated through a “remote control” by the party’s high command in Delhi. Following the cabinet expansion, the Karnataka Congress government is facing criticism on multiple fronts. Following talks with a senior Congress leader, CM Shivakumar dismissed reports of dissidence within the ruling party after the recent Cabinet expansion.
