Karnataka BJP, Congress clash over Delhi student protest
There was a big argument between the BJP and Congress in Karnataka about a protest in Delhi.
Students were protesting because they were upset about leaks in their exams and wanted the Education Minister to take responsibility.
The police used force to stop the protest, which the Congress said was too harsh.
The BJP said the protest was planned by people who don't like the government and that the police did their job well.
The Congress wants the government to help the injured students and let those who were arrested go free, while the BJP says the protest was not peaceful and had bad intentions.
