Br Patil Audio: The ruling Congress government of Karnataka has once again come under the circle of allegations of corruption and internal dissatisfaction. Senior Congress MLA and Deputy Chairman of Karnataka Planning Commission BR Patil has given a big statement about the viral audio clip in which he is being heard in allegedly talking to Sarfaraz Khan, personal secretary of Housing Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, about bribe in housing schemes. BR Patil has not only described that audio as his own, but has also emphasized that he is still standing on his allegations.
BR Patil’s serious allegations and regional neglect
BR Patil said that there are disturbances in house allocation under various housing schemes and people up to high levels are involved in corruption. He also clarified that he would not come under any pressure and will stand with the truth. Congress MLA from Aland Assembly constituency BR Patil said that government work is being started in my constituency without my permission. Etiquette is being violated in my constituency. Speaking in Kalburgi, he said that a grant of Rs 17 crore has been received from KKRDB for Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad Residential School Project. Work has also started. But I have not been invited for the work shovel worship.
Increased dissatisfaction within Congress
In this sequence, another Congress MLA Raju Kagi has also publicly expressed his displeasure. He said that my situation is similar to BR Patil. The Chief Minister had approved ₹ 12 crore road construction and ₹ 13 crore for community buildings for my assembly, but not a single work order has been issued despite two years. This reflects the complete failure of the administration. He further said that he is hurt and disappointed to the extent that he can submit his resignation to the Chief Minister in the coming two days.
BJP attack and political stir
At the same time, the BJP has launched a scathing attack on the Congress government by taking this issue. Party leaders say that this is a corrupt government which will not last long. Its real face is coming out day by day. The allegations and counter-allegations between ministers and legislators are under proof that everything is not good within the government itself. After these developments in the political corridors, the political stir has intensified. It has to be seen how the Congress high command deal with these rebellious notes and allegations of corruption.
