The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took a dig at Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for sporting a red tilak while addressing a press conference on the Operation Sindoor, saying "once against war with Pakistan, now wears 'sindoor'. The Operation Sindoor was launched by the armed forces in PoK and Pakistan on Wednesday pre-dawn hours, avenging the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
The BJP mocked him by reminding him of his controversial statement of "no war with Pakistan". Taking to social media X, on Wednesday, the BJP stated, "Congress CM Siddaramaiah once against war with Pakistan, now wears "˜Operation Sindoor' "” quite literally on his forehead."

The saffron party also shared his photograph showing indoor on his forehead on X. Siddaramaiah is often accused of showing disrespect to the Hindu religious traditions, especially rituals in temples and at the same time, but at the same time flaunting the Muslim skull cap.

Meanwhile, Karnataka BJP chief BY Vijayendra commenting on the Operation Sindoor, said, "Sindoors of 25 women, including newlywed brides, were cruelly wiped away by a barbaric act of terror. Today, Operation Sindoor marks the beginning of justice."
He further said, "Haunting image of a young bride sobbing beside her slain husband has been etched into the hearts of every Indian. The cries of innocent women after their husbands murdered for simply being Hindus have shaken the conscience of our nation. Their pain, grief have been felt by every Indian. We will never forget. We will never forgive!"
