The political landscape in Karnataka is heating up after a video surfaced showing CM Siddaramaiah's son, Dr. Yathindra, conversing with his father on the phone and mentioning a "list" that needed attention, sparking a significant controversy.
Former CM H.D. Kumaraswamy seized on this video, alleging a "cash-for-posting" scandal within the state, openly criticizing the ruling Congress government. He condemned the apparent extortion practices, accusing the CM's office of orchestrating a transfer mafia and exploiting positions of authority.
Kumaraswamy's fiery remarks didn't hold back, questioning the integrity of the CM and his son, implying that their actions had turned the government into a hub for influence-peddling and corruption. He challenged the CM to address these allegations and demanded immediate resignation, questioning their involvement and the purported "cut" they might receive.
Refuting any knowledge of the situation, Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara distanced himself, claiming unawareness about the video and redirecting inquiries to Kumaraswamy, who brought the issue to public attention.
Amidst these allegations and counter-responses, the tension is palpable, with opposition leaders aggressively demanding accountability and calling for swift action. The situation has escalated, with claims and counterclaims dominating the political discourse in Karnataka.
