Political clashes very commonly take place as more and more issues come to the fore. Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday alleged that a faction of the state BJP closer to the RSS was trying to take advantage of the recent Bengaluru violence to topple Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa’s government. “BJP Karnataka is clearly divided into 2 factions. One that is closer to RSS is trying to take the advantage of Kaval Byrasandra incident to topple BS Yediyurappa’s position,” said the Congress leader in a series of tweets.

He also alleged that the ruling party leaders were using SDPI as their pawn for political reasons to divide Muslim votes. Alleging the state government and its ministers of trying to mislead the people over the violence, he said that the BJP leaders, instead of identifying the actual culprits, were more interested in targeting the Congress. He said, "BJP ministers and MLAs are giving conflicting opinions. They initially blamed SDPI, then Congress and now claims it to be an act by terrorists.”
