Bengaluru, Jul 31: BJP president Amit Shah had reportedly offered Rs 10 crore each to the Congress MLAs in Gujarat to switch their loyalty to the saffron party.

This shocking revelation was made by Senior Congress leader B K Hariprasad, who said that the horse trading attempts of BJP forced the Congress to bring its 40 MLAs from Gujarat to Karnataka to keep them safe.

“Three of our MLAs stayed back in Gujarat due to unavoidable circumstances,” the Congress leader told reporters on the sidelines of an event at Palace Grounds in Bengaluru. Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s political secretary Ahmed Patel is contesting the Rajya Sabha elections from Gujarat.

 “He is an influential leader, but Shah’s hidden agenda is to ensure the minorities don’t win,” Hariprasad said.

“The BJP used corrupt ways to win the Rajya Sabha elections in Jharkhand and Haryana as well.”

Hariprasad refuted reports that the Congress MLAs from Gujarat were kept under house arrest here. “I’m in touch with them. They’re all happy,” he said.

Chennai, July 27: Multi-lingual actress Vijayalakshmi, who attempted suicide yesterday, alleging harassment and bullying by followers of Naam Thamizhar party leader Seeman and Panankattu Padai’s Hari Nadar, is recuperating at a hospital in Chennai. 

Vijayalakshmi is known for films like Friends and Boss Engira Baskaran. She recently made headlines for speaking against Seeman and the torture she was allegedly facing from the actor-turned-politician and his party.

In the video which was uploaded on Sunday evening, Vijayalakshmi said, “This is my last video and I have been in tremendous stress in the last four months because of Seeman and his partymen. I tried my level best to survive all these days because of my mother and sister, but I have been humiliated in the media by Harinadar recently.”

She added, “I would like to tell fans who are watching the video just because I was born in Karnataka, Seeman has tortured me a lot. As a woman, I have put up with it to my highest capabilities. I won’t be able handle the pressure anymore. I am from the Pillai community, the same community LTTE leader Prabhakaran is part of. Prabhakaran is the only reason Seeman is who he is today, but now he has been harassing me on social media continuously. You slut shamed me to make me feel the pain and it is up to me to decide on what to do after facing such insults from you. I request my fans not to let Seeman get away from this case. He should never get anticipatory bail. My death should be a big eye-opener to everyone. I don’t want to be a slave to anybody.”
