Bengaluru, 1 July
Hours after the press conference, a leaked
video of a senior Congress leader BR Patil triggered a fresh fire.
In the video, Aland Congress MLA can be heard
talking over the phone saying, "(Chief Minister) Siddaramaiah hit a
lottery. I was the one who introduced him to Sonia Gandhi. His fortunes were
good and he became the Chief Minister. I have no Godfather or God. I met (Randeep Singh) Surjewala and said everything I had to. They heard me out with
patience, let's see what happens."
Patil earlier had a leaked phone call where
he alleged rampant corruption in housing allotment, which triggered a massive
row in the State.
"I was among the eight MLAs who quit
JD(S) and joined the Congress. A few are MLAs, and some others have become
ministers. Lucky among us was Siddaramaiah as he became the Chief
Minister," Patil later told reporters.
Reacting to the development, Siddaramaiah
said "Yes, I am lucky. That's why I became the Chief Minister."
