All India Congress Committee president M. Mallikarjuna Kharge questioned the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the alleged 40% commission sought by the BJP administration in Karnataka.
Speaking to reporters in Mangaluru on April 25 during his two-day coastal Karnataka tour, Mr. Kharge said the two would have bombarded social media with statements if such allegations were against opposition parties. Since the allegations are against their party, with complaints against the BJP government in Karnataka by many prominent persons, some of whom wrote even to the President, the two have maintained silence.
Citing Mr. Modi’s statement — Na khaoonga, khane bhi nahin doonga, Mr Kharge questioned the PM’s support for alleged corrupt practices in Karnataka.
