Pointing to the audio clip of a purported telephonic conversation between Rajkumar Patil Telkur and Raghunath Rao Malkapure, BJP legislators, in which the widespread corruption in the Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB) was discussed, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee vice-president Sharanprakash Patil demanded the government to order a probe to ascertain the authenticity of the clip.
“The BJP legislators are clearly heard discussing the widespread corruption in KKRDB. One legislator said that there was a corruption to the tune of ₹167 crore. The government should take the issue seriously and order investigation,” Mr. Patil said.
Responding to the dismissal of allegation by Mr. Telkur, MLA for Sedam, Mr. Patil said that an impartial probe and forensic analysis would reveal the authenticity of the clip.
