Reacting to former AICC President Rahul Gandhi’s statement that only people having money get jobs in Karnataka, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said details of corruption during Congress rule will be sent to him along with the statistics.

Talking to reporters in KR Pet, the CM said the extent of corruption in recruitment during the tenure of the Congress regime has never happened in any other state. The incumbent government has ordered an inquiry into leakage of question papers pertaining to the recruitment of police constables and the PU exams.

Details of the probe will be sent to Rahul, he said. Reacting to Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Siddaramaiah’s statement that the Congress will come back to power in 2023, Bommai referred to his statement during the 2018 polls that the Congress is confident of returning to power which did not happen. The total number of seats won by the Congress came down down to 79 from 127. “We request Siddaramaiah to repeat his claim and we are sure it will help the BJP,” he quipped
