CM's son video is proof of Cong's 'cash for posting' scam, says BJP

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: Intensifying its attack on the ruling Congress in Karnataka, opposition BJP on Saturday alleged that the video showing Yathindra talking to his father and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah about 'transfer and posting' is a "proof" that the State is being used as an ATM.

Leader of opposition in the Assembly, R Ashoka alleged that this was the third such an instance coming to light. Referring to the viral video, the former deputy Chief Minister said it is a "confirmation" that there is "transfer business" (cash for postings) going on in the state.

The Congress levelled baseless allegations about 40 per cent commission being collected from contractors during the previous BJP government but its leaders did not give any evidence.

"Now the proof is out in public showing that there is a 60 per cent commission government in the state", Ashoka alleged.

"It is now known to the world that they (Congress) are using Karnataka as ATM...," the Padmanabhanagar MLA alleged.
