BJP's withdrawal of objections amounts to admission of SIR misuse: Jarkiholi

Congress leader Satish Jarkiholi has leveled accusations against the BJP, asserting that the party's decision to withdraw its objections in a case effectively constitutes an admission of misusing the Special Investigation Report process. Jarkiholi contended that by stepping back from its earlier position, the BJP has inadvertently revealed the improper deployment of investigative mechanisms for political purposes. The move, according to the Congress leader, exposes what he characterizes as the ruling party's willingness to weaponize official procedures against its political opponents. Jarkiholi's remarks reflect the ongoing friction between Karnataka's Congress and BJP over governance and investigative protocols. The allegation adds to a broader discourse in the state regarding the politicization of administrative and investigative processes, with opposition parties consistently questioning the impartiality of state machinery under BJP administration.
