During a press conference in Mysuru, BJP MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar attributed rising prices of essential commodities in Karnataka to the Congress state government's failure to implement preventive measures. He specifically noted that milk and petrol prices in Karnataka were higher than in other states, pointing to higher state-level fuel taxation as a factor. Yaduveer defended the central government's efforts to control inflation amid global crude oil price increases following geopolitical tensions, and criticized what he termed "unnecessary" state expenditure affecting taxation on goods. He also defended the GST regime as an improvement over the previous multiple taxation system, and dismissed Congress calls for RSS registration as propaganda, characterizing the organization as a disciplined entity working to protect Indian culture for over a century.
