After ‘Operation Lotus’ failed, JDS has levied serious allegations on BJP. MLA Shivalinge Gowda accused former CM BJP MLA Jagdish Shetter of “bribing”. He has claimed that BJP MLA offered a bribe of Rs 60 crore.
Shivalinge Gowda said “Jagdish Shetter offered Rs 60 crore to one of JDS MLAs and also assured a ministerial post; but our leader informed the same to Kumaraswmy and declined the offer. He told Kumaraswamy that “I will not be a part of BJP, even if they offer me Rs500 crores.”
What is Karnataka’s statistics?
Kumaraswamy government is safe even after 2 independent candidates took back their support. Karnataka Assembly has 224 seats, and for a majority one needs 113 MLAs. Even after 2 independent candidates withdrew their support, Congress-JDS government has 118 MLAs, whereas BJP has only 104.
