Karnataka's 'pre-paid' MLC seat row at Rajya Sabha door
- 5 years ago
Weeks after the legislative council polls, a cash-for-seat CD has surfaced in which former chief minister and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy allegedly demands Rs 20 crore from a person to give away his party's seat for the Upper House. He told STOI there's only mention of money. "Has anyone captured a video of me taking money?" he asked.
The 35-minute audio CD, released by Vijugouda Patil Abhimanigala Balaga (Vijugouda Patil Fans' Association), is a conversation between Kumaraswamy and supporters of Vijugouda, a JD(S) functionary from Bableshwara, Bijapur district. A Vijugouda supporter offers Kumaraswamy Rs 40 crore in exchange for a seat to the Bijapur leader. But Kumaraswamy scales it down to Rs 20 crore. "Give Rs 20 crore, I' will try to convince MLAs," he says.
