Bengaluru: Minutes after BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai took oath as the new Chief Minister of Karnataka on Wednesday, July 28, the Congress called out Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “being silent on BJP’s dynasty politics”.

In a tweet from its official account, the Karnataka Congress wondered if the PM had forgotten his statements on “dynasty politics” as he picked “son of a former Chief Minister as the new Chief Minister”.

Karnataka Congress party was referring to PM’s statements made earlier calling for an “eradication of dynasty politics” in India.

Basavaraj Bommai’s father SR Bommai had been Karnataka CM for a period of over nine months between August 1988 and April 1989.
