BJP's Ballari show is a personal power struggle: Priyank Kharge

Bengaluru, Jan 16 (UNI) Karnataka Minister for Panchayat Raj, Rural Development and IT/BT Priyank Kharge on Friday said the BJP's massive protest in Ballari tomorrow reflected an internal power struggle rather than a movement aimed at addressing public concerns, describing it as a "personal fight rather than a fight for the people."
Speaking to reporters here, Kharge said the BJP was free to organise protests, but questioned the purpose behind the Ballari programme.
He alleged that the exercise was driven by internal rivalries and leadership ambitions within the party's state unit, with little focus on issues affecting ordinary citizens.
