Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday said that the Opposition Congress was responsible for the ‘restless’ environment in the State and the party’s protest in the Legislative Assembly during the debate on the Governor’s address was a ‘black spot’ in the history of the legislature.

In a reply to the motion of thanks to the Governor’s address to the State legislature, Mr. Bommai said, “For the first time in the history of the legislature, the motion of thanks was passed without a debate. The Congress was unfit to become both ruling and the opposition party,” he said and blamed the Congress leaders for creating a “vicious atmosphere” in schools and colleges of the State on the hijab controversy.
