BJP's Ajay Alok criticised Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge for rejecting demand for the resignation of Karnataka's CM and Deputy CM, while questioning whether UP CM Yogi Adityanath had resigned after Kumbh Mela stampede. He said, "Congress has...habit of making such statements." He added, "They aren't sensitive...It’s not just about resignations, it’s about being sensitive and taking responsibility."
