Vijayendra on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the delay in the expansion of the Karnataka Cabinet, questioning whether the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha considers the people of the state to be "idiots". Criticising the delay in appointing ministers, the BJP leader said several positions in the state Cabinet remained vacant even as governance was being affected. He remarked that while offices in the Vidhana Soudha await ministers, aspirants continue to wait in Delhi for approval from the Congress high command. Taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, Vijayendra said the repeated visits by Karnataka Congress leaders to the national capital have raised questions about the autonomy of the state leadership. "The people of Karnataka voted for a government, not for a waiting room outside the Congress high command's residence," Vijayendra said, urging the Congress leadership to take an immediate decision on the long-pending Cabinet expansion.
