Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has alleged that Congress has gone for distribution of token in the by-elections of the three assembly constituencies going on in the state. Speaking in the city, he complained, Congress party has started distribution of money through token in the hope of winning the by-election. It has been reported in the media that they have arranged to send money to those who show the token. This is how the Congress is distributing the loot.
He expressed confidence that, Congress will win in all the three assembly constituencies even if the same amount of token and money is distributed. In all three constituencies there is a bias in favor of BJP. During the campaign, we got a good response from the people. So NDA will achieve an unprecedented victory. BJP in Sandur and Shiggavi and JD(S) in Channapatna are sure to win.
On the other hand, MP Govinda Karajola said, there is doubt whether there is a constitutionally formed government in the state or not. JPC President Jagdambika Pal came to the state a few days ago. Many people, including Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, have spoken lightly about him. The Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led government has no respect for the Constitution, I condemn this, he said.
JPC President Jagdambika Paul was shown disrespect by not following protocol when he came. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah government is in a scandal and state economy is bankrupt. Rs 25,000 crore SC and ST money has been misappropriated. Maharshi Valmiki Development Corporation scam money has been used for Lok Sabha elections, now for by-elections. The people of Sandur are talking about using the same money, he said.
