Karnataka's BJP opposition leader R. Ashoka has questioned Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal's intervention in the state's eviction row, asking if he is a 'super CM'. Ashoka criticized Venugopal's statement on the demolition of unauthorized constructions as an overreach and an insult to federalism. Venugopal stated he conveyed the AICC's concern to Karnataka CM and Deputy CM, who assured engagement with affected families and provision of relief. This exchange follows criticism of demolition drives by Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan.
