BJP and Congress clash over Kerala-Karnataka remarks
There is a big argument between politicians from Kerala and Karnataka.
The Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, D.K. Shivakumar, said that Karnataka does not want people from Kerala.
This made the Kerala BJP Chief, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, very angry.
He said that the Congress party is trying to divide people based on where they come from, their religion, and their language.
Earlier, Shivakumar had said that the Kerala Chief Minister was trying to make the situation political.
The Karnataka government demolished 164 illegal sheds in Bengaluru and said they will help the people who lost their homes.
The Kerala Chief Minister had criticized the demolition, but the Karnataka government said it was necessary for managing waste and maintaining order.
