Cong, BJP deploy seniors in poll-bound states; cadres unhappy with move

The Congress and BJP parties in Karnataka are deploying experienced campaigners from the state to campaign in the upcoming elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Mizoram. The Congress wants to replicate its success in the Karnataka elections by using the “Karnataka model” in these states. However, there are concerns about the absence of ministers affecting governance in Karnataka, especially with issues such as drought and the Cauvery water dispute needing attention. The BJP, on the other hand, is facing challenges in organizing its state unit and preparing for local elections.
