Soon after the Yediyurappa-led BJP government in Karnataka denied permission for the swearing-in ceremony of D K Shivakumar as the State president — for the third time — the Congress termed the action ‘vendetta politics’ on Tuesday.

“On June 14th, ‘PRATHIJNA DINA’ was to be held at 7,800 locations across Karnataka with 10 lakh+ Congress Karyakartas attending it, with care taken w.r.t safety precautions for COVID & social distancing. By denying permission to it again, BJP Govt is indulging in vendetta politics,” the Karnataka Congress tweeted from its official account.

The Congress had earlier planned to conduct the event on May 31 and then June 7, after which the party requested the government to consider the same for June 14.
