A political row has erupted in Karnataka over the demolition of unauthorized constructions in Bengaluru, with the BJP accusing the Congress high command of interfering in state administration. The controversy began after Congress general secretary KC Venugopal conveyed the party leadership's concerns about the demolitions. BJP leaders questioned Venugopal's role, calling him a 'Super CM' and accusing the Congress of undermining federalism. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar defended Venugopal's actions as 'advice,' not interference, and stated that eligible residents would be rehabilitated.
