The political discourse surrounding the Bengaluru Rameshwaram Cafe blast case intensified as BJP flayed Congress for attempting to link the party with the incident, with BJP accusing Congress of a 'Contest From Pakistan...'. Karnataka's Health Minister, Dinesh Gundu Rao, claimed that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had detained a BJP worker in connection with the blast, a claim that was later criticized and labeled as 'Fake News'. The controversy escalated further when Karnataka BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal made a controversial 'Pakistani' jibe against Gundu Rao, suggesting his household was 'half of Pakistan', which was condemned for its derogatory nature. Priyank Kharge, a Karnataka Minister, defended the Congress, stating that the party was only reiterating publicly available information. The incident has sparked a firestorm of political jibes and accusations, highlighting the tense relationship between the two major political parties in the state.
