After the JD(S) leader and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy was accused of ‘power theft’ by ruling Congress, the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) Vigilance Unit on November 14 filed an FIR against Mr. Kumaraswamy.
On Tuesday, the Karnataka Congress posted a video on X (formerly Twitter), showing a cable, stretching out from the terrace of Mr. Kumaraswamy’s house at J.P. Nagar, and connecting directly to a power line across the street.
Taking a jibe at Mr. Kumaraswamy, the Congress said: “If you were facing financial problems, you could have applied for Gruha Jyothi scheme, which ensures free power of up to 200 units per month. The JD(S) leader has been criticising the government’s guarantees, including free power to households.
