He slammed JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy for calling Union Home Minister Amit Shah a ”reincarnation” of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, saying his words reflect political frustration. Addressing a press conference here, the Bengaluru South MP said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will retain power in Karnataka with a thumping victory similar to Gujarat. Kumaraswamy on Saturday called BJP a party full of ”hypocrisies and lies” and Amit Shah ”a political chameleon” and ”reincarnation” of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
”The unparliamentary words used by Kumaraswamy reflect his political frustration. JD(S) is an endangered party and it will become extinct in Karnataka after the upcoming Assembly elections. That is the reason why he is making such statements,” said Surya, who heads BJP’s student wing Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).
”The kind of statements the leaders of Congress and JD(S) from Karnataka are giving for the last 10-15 days, it is clear they know the results of the upcoming elections. Like Gujarat, the BJP will register a thumping victory in Karnataka,” said Surya.

Surya was in Ahmedabad as part of BJYM’s ”Sushasn” or good governance Yatra wherein the youth wing members from different states will tour Gujarat to understand how the state achieved development under the BJP rule.
Some of the institutions they will visit during this two-day tour include the IFFCO plant, GIFT City, railway stations, Vidya Samiksha Kendra and Forensic Sciences University campus among others.
”At least 50 BJYM workers from other states will also try to understand how the state unit of BJYM helped the BJP register a sweeping victory in the state elections,” said Surya.
”The Gujarat elections have already written a foreword for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. BJYM played an important role in BJP’s victory in Gujarat. During this tour, our workers from other states will also study and understand Yuva Morcha’s role during polls and we will prepare our state units in other states as per this Gujarat model,” he said.
Speaking on former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhan Reddy’s announcement on the formation of a new political party, Surya said the ”people of Karnataka and workers of BJP will give a befitting reply to those who indulge in such misadventure”.
He lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union minister Amit Shah for the Centre’s war on drugs and added ”drug mafias” will be eliminated from the country in the next 2 to 3 years.
Speaking on a border row between Karnataka and Maharashtra, Surya said the people of Karnataka have full confidence in Shah, who is handling the issue.
”Such issues are connected with people’s emotions. Amit Shah held a meeting with the CMs of both states to find a lasting solution. The people of Karnataka are confident that everyone will get justice when a leader like Shah is handling this issue. We are confident that not even one per cent injustice will be done,” said Surya.
