“If PayCM [campaign] applies to anyone, it is Siddaramaiah [Leader of Opposition in the Assembly]. It means Pay to CM-Congress Madam. It implies that Siddaramaiah became Chief Minister after paying money to Sonia Gandhi,’’ BJP State president Nalin Kumar Kateel said in Vijayapura on Tuesday.
He told journalists that KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar had planned the PayCM campaign, only to insult Mr. Siddaramaiah. But Mr. Siddaramaiah has not realised Mr. Shivakumar’s intent yet. One day, Mr. Shivakumar will reveal how much money Ms. Gandhi received from Mr. Siddaramaiah, he said.
Mr. Siddarmaiah made money from drugs and sand mafia, Mr. Kateel said. The former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddiyurappa and Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai have controlled that mafia, the BJP State president said.
