Belagavi, May 6, 2022 (www.justkannada.in): “A few people who had come from Delhi had told me that I would be made the Chief Minister in return for Rs. 2,500 crores. Please don’t go anywhere in politics and destroy yourself. People will approach you saying that they will take you to Delhi, help you get the ticket, help you meet Sonia Gandhi, J.P. Nadda, etc., etc.,” said BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal.
Speaking at Raybagh in Belagavi today, he said, “a few people who had come from Delhi had met me. Arrange Rs.2,500 crore, we will make you the Chief Minister they said. I told them, do you know how much is Rs. 2,500 crores? Where should I store it? In which room can I store it? which godown? People will try to cheat you stating that they will help you to get a ticket, etc.,” he alleged.
“I worked under former PM Vajpayee and L.K. Advani. Leaders like Rajnath Singh, and Arun Jaitely used to call me by my name. Today they say that I will be made a CM if I arrange Rs.2,500 crores. I request all not to fall prey to such cheating words,” he added.
