Urging the Election Commission to probe the purported statement of Yathindra, former Congress legislator and son of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, that cookers and iron boxes were distributed during elections, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Wednesday alleged that the Congress government had come to power “through such illegal means.”
“I had stated repeatedly that the Congress government has come to power by enticing voters in the election. Son of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah himself has laid bare the truth,” the former CM said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
Mr. Yathindra’s is said to have made the statement while speaking to members of the Madiwala (washermen) community recently, referring to the purported distribution in Varuna constituency before the Assembly elections. The short video clip had gone viral on social media.
