Former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda has alleged that the Congress party won the Telangana assembly elections by distributing money that belonged to Karnataka.
Speaking to presspersons in Hassan on Monday, Mr. Deve Gowda said that Karnataka’s money was spent to win in Telangana. “How much money from Karnataka reached Telangana? How much has the Election Commission seized? Congress won in Telangana by distributing money taken from Karnataka,” he alleged.
Further, Mr. Deve Gowda said it was the Congress that kept the JD(S) out of the INDIA alliance. When H.D. Kumaraswamy became the Chief Minister, heading the JD(S)-Congress allinace in 2018, leaders of many parties attended the oath-taking ceremony. “Later, the Kumaraswamy-led government was removed. It is the Congress that kept the JD(S) out of the INDIA alliance. Many leaders, including Siddaramaiah stated that JD(S) would lose its existence soon,” he said.
