BRS, Congress depending on money power to win elections: TS BJP

Telangana BJP has claimed that the “election money reservoir is in Karnataka” to be used for political activity ahead of elections in the State and urged the Election Commission (EC) to take note of the same.

“The ₹42 crore that was seized on Thursday is a small sample. The Congress is planning to spend close to ₹3,000 crore for Telangana Assembly elections. The ruling BRS is also banking on money power.

Addressing a press conference at the party office on Friday, he wanted the EC to keep a vigil on money being dumped and moved across the State.
