BJP claims party worker’s brother assaulted by Congress member, but no party named in FIR

Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Legislative Assembly R. Ashok in a post on X (formerly Twitter) alleged that a brother of a BJP worker was assaulted by a worker attached to the Congress at Bidadi in Ramanagara district.

However, neither the complaint copy nor the FIR registered in the Bidadi police station named the involvement of any political party in the incident that occurred recently.

Mr. Ashok said: “Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Bengaluru Rural Congress candidate D.K. Suresh in frustration of losing the election have resorted to goondaism. Despite the fact that a brother of a BJP worker was assaulted, why is the accused still not arrested? Has Siddaramaiah, who claims to be the strong Chief Minister, succumbed before DK brothers?.”
