This remark highlights tensions amid CJP-led protests demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Meanwhile, BJP's Ashok Gowda accused Congress of fostering anarchy through alleged links with the CJP and criticized its governance approach. Congress has distanced itself from some CJP demonstrations, reflecting complex political dynamics in the state.
