BJP Accuses Ruling Congress of 'Censoring' Opposition's Voice on Assembly TV in Karnataka

It is almost a replay of the Parliament proceedings broadcast, where the opposition alleges a blackout of their speeches, voices, and images—only this time, the roles are reversed in the Karnataka assembly.

The Congress-led opposition in Parliament alleges that the telecast of proceedings in both houses is biased, with cameras often focusing on the Speaker or presiding officer while opposition leaders speak or protest.

Likewise, in a similar complaint, the opposition BJP and JD(S) on Tuesday alleged that the ruling Congress in the state assembly was "blacking out" opposition members. The opposition MLAs alleged that the legislative assembly TV cameras show only ruling party members inside the house on giant TV screens set up inside and outside the assembly.
