Amit Shah's recent visit to Karnataka has ignited a mix of reactions and responses. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah lashed out at Shah, claiming he failed to convene a meeting to allocate relief funds for the state's drought-stricken areas. In contrast, Shah shared a 'winning formula' with BJP leaders to secure a sweeping victory in the upcoming elections. The discussions on seat sharing and alliance strategies between BJP and JDS in Delhi indicate a strategic political maneuver.

Looking ahead to the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, Amit Shah is set to deliberate on poll strategies with the JD(S) alliance partners. The focus lies on coordination between party workers and leaders for a unified front. In a separate meeting, Shah directed the Karnataka BJP unit to increase their vote share by 10%, emphasizing the importance of electoral gains and expanding the party's influence.

On a positive note, Amit Shah commended PM Modi's efforts in promoting Indian cultural heritage during the 'Sutturu Jathra' event. He highlighted Modi's initiatives in reviving traditional practices like Yoga, Ayurveda, and Indian languages, gaining recognition on a global scale. Additionally, Shah praised the Suttur Mutt for its dedicated service in education and acknowledged the contributions of Suttur seer Shivaratri Deshikendra Swami.

Despite the accolades, there were instances of dissent as Congress leaders and workers protested against Shah's visit, citing disparities in tax sharing with Karnataka. This 'Go Back' campaign in Mysuru underscored the ongoing tensions and grievances towards the Union government's policies. As Shah's presence in Karnataka intensifies in anticipation of the Lok Sabha polls, the political landscape remains tumultuous with both praise and dissent surrounding his engagements in the state.
