New Delhi: The BJP on Friday alleged that the Congress government in Karnataka is pushing the state into “bankruptcy” with scams and diversion of funds to serve its “political interests”.
Claiming the involvement of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in two alleged scams in the state, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi alleged that the Congress did not allow BJP members to raise the issue in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha to protect “some people” involved in these cases.
The Rajya Sabha on Friday witnessed noisy scenes during the Zero Hour after Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar rejected notices by BJP members to suspend listed business of the House to discuss an issue related to corruption in Karnataka.
