Karnataka BJP chief accuses STATE govt of corruption

Accusing the Congress Government in Karnataka of rampant corruption, State BJP President BY Vijayendra on Thursday alleged that the money collected through “loot and by emptying the State’s coffers” is being paid to the party high command, to continue in power. Hitting back, Deputy CM DK Shivakumar called Vijayendra the “king of collection,” and held him responsible for “bringing down” his father and former CM BS Yediyurappa’s name. “From the time the Congress Government came to power, money has been paid to the party high command through corruption. We have been saying that if the Congress is in power in the State, it will turn into an ATM for their high command. Hundreds of crores were misappropriated in the Valmiki ST Development Corporation.

After that, one scam after the other is taking place,” Vijayendra said.
