‘Amit Shah offered Rs 10-cr each to Cong MLAs to defeat Ahmed Patel’

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.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Congress is confused on the Ram Mandir issue and in dilemma to take a firm stand fearing loss of Muslim or Hindu votes, according to BJP leader and Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi.

"Congress opposed BJP's stand on constructing Ram Mandir in Ayodya, it called Lord Ram fictional and even decided to break the Ramsetu. Now, Congressmen are speaking the other way. Congress cannot think beyond vote bank politics which is in its DNA itself. Congressmen think that they are born to be in power," he said while speaking to media persons. 

He said that BJP is all for constructing a grand Ram Mandir peacefully and legally, due to its conviction and not for politics. Same was the case with the revocation of Article 370 for Jammu & Kashmir. Anti-national activities have comparatively come down now. 

Some people do not want everything going smoothly in the country, and Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi are among them, Joshi opined, adding that the Congress is merely frustrated.
