Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday alleged that Opposition BJP leaders in Karnataka are attempting yet another round of “Operation Kamala” to destabilise his government, and asserted that they will not be successful in their efforts, as none of the Congress MLAs will fall victim to it.
The Chief Minister was responding to party’s Mandya MLA Ravikumar Gowda’s (Ravi Ganiga) statement that a team which was behind the fall of the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in 2019 was now working to lure Congress MLAs by offering ₹50 crore and a Minister post, and four legislators have already been contacted, and there is evidence for it.
Responding to queries on it, Mr. Siddaramaiah said: “I have not spoken to Mr. Ravikumar Gowda, who has made the statement. But, I too have information that the BJP is attempting Operation Kamala to destabilise this government.” Speaking to reporters here, he asserted that the saffron party will never be successful as no Congress MLA will fall victim to it.
