Congress and JD (S) has been accusing BJP of indulging in the horse-trading to dethrone the coalition government. They allege 7 MLAs have gone missing because of this unacceptable practice of the Saffron Party.
To prove the allegations are indeed true, Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy convened a press conference before the presentation of budget to release the audio tape of conversation between BJP Chief BS Yeddyurappa and JD (S) MLA Naganagowda Kandkur's Son Sharana. BJP assured Rs 25 crore and Cabinet Berth to the MLA if he shifts loyalties.
Kumaraswamy told that names of Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and few other BJP Topbrass Leaders were mentioned during the horse-trading talks. He told BJP Leaders were contacting the family members and close aides of MLAs to lure them. He even demanded PM Narendra Modi who is killing democracy to show his real face.
JD (S) Supremo Deve Gowda took potshots at PM Narendra Modi by drawing comparison between poll promises of JD (S) and BJP. 'JD (S) promised Farm Loan Waiver: Status - Ongoing; Modi promised Ram Mandir, Clean Ganga, Interlinking of Rivers and Rs 15 lakh in Bank Accounts: Status - Never. 'Ongoing' is better than 'Never'. 'Operation Lotus' is the only ongoing status in BJP, ' he wrote.
