Mangaluru, Jul 24: U T Khader, who just lost his minister status along with the fall of Congress-JD(S) government in Karnataka yesterday, has described the alleged wholesale trade of MLAs by BJP in Karnataka as “one thousand crore rupees scam”.

“It is nothing but a massive political scam to the tune of Rs 1,000 crores. We have received credible information that each of the rebel Congress and JD(S) MLA has been offered around Rs 70 crore for bringing down the coalition government,” the Mangaluru City (Ullal) MLA claimed.

Mr Khader hinted that the demonetisation by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government during its first tenure helped the BJP to a hoard up massive black money which is being used for anti-democratic activities such as large scale “operation lotus”.

He went on to accuse the BJP top brass and the union government of attempting to all overthrow democratically elected non-BJP governments and systematically destroying all democratic institutions through misuse of power and black money.
