Labour Minister and district-in-charge for Dharwad Santosh Lad has said that BJP trying to lure Opposition MLAs was not something new in state politics and the saffron party had purchased scores of MLAs using money and muscle power in the past ten years.
Speaking to presspersons in Dharwad on Saturday, Mr. Lad said that BJP had become a rich party now and had officially disclosed assets worth over ₹7,500 crore.
Mr. Lad said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund was set up and there was a huge flow of funds from across the country. According to reliable sources, the PM Relief Fund received not less than ₹30,000 crore as donation but unfortunately, the Centre did not construct even a single hospital, he alleged.
