Bengaluru Demolition Row: BJP's Sudha Halkai Targets Congress Over KC Venugopal's Intervention

In this Special Report, India Today’s Akshita Nandagopal anchors a debate on the political fallout of the Bengaluru demolition drive. The controversy intensified after AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal urged the Karnataka government to pause evictions on 'humanitarian grounds.' BJP Spokesperson Dr. Sudha Halkai attacks the move, terming it 'appeasement politics' and asking, 'Why these flats which were not given to the people of Karnataka?' She highlights the lack of relief for flood victims in Kalburgi. Countering her, KPCC Spokesperson Raghu Dodderi defends the government's stance, asserting, 'We consider them as Kannadigas' and emphasizing the state's duty to rehabilitate the displaced. The discussion explores the intersection of Karnataka's governance and the upcoming Kerala elections.
