Bengaluru, May 18: Even as the Bharatiya Janata Party has continued its efforts to poach MLAs from opposition parties, the Congress on Friday released an audio clip where mining baron Gali Janardhana Reddy is heard offering money to the Congress's MLA from Raichur Rural.

Reddy is also heard offering the MLA, Basanagouda Daddal, a berth in the council of ministers. 

The offer, according to Reddy, has BJP president Amit Shah's approval. Daddal defeated the BJP's Tipparaju by 9964 votes in the May 12 polls.

Transcript of the call

Male voice: Janardhan sahebru will speak to you if you are free.

Basanagouda: Give. Give.

Janardhan: Basanagouda...are you free?

Basanagouda: Yes, I’m free sir...

Don’t remember all the bad things that happened in the past. I am telling you in the middle of the night that good times have started for me. I’m telling you directly. The big man, the national president will himself speak to you. Whatever you want, whatever post, you can talk one-to-one and we take a step forward.

Basanagouda: It won’t happen, sir...When I was on my last legs, they helped me when I was really down...

Janardhan: I have only one point to tell you. During the BSR time, it was a very bad time for me where there was a very hostile environment. We have all lost a lot, there are no two words on that. You will grow a 100 times if you listen to me. You know Shivanagouda Naik, he listened to me and became a minister. Hasn’t he become strong now as an MLA and a man who can stand on his own feet?  Didn’t all of it happen because of me? What about Raju Gouda? Didn’t he become, because of me? Your tragedy, in our bad time, you and we didn’t match. But today, Shivanagouda Naik, even if he wins, it is of no use. You will become a minister. Do you understand? I will make you sit with the big man, one to one and I will myself make sure both of you talk. This country, the way they are giving the administration, you are seeing it. Whatever assets you have, you will get 100 times more, Basanagouda.

Basanagouda: Sorry sir. When I was on my last legs, they gave me the ticket, these leaders. In this situation, I can’t betray them. I have respect and affection for you...

The audio clip ends.

Meanwhile, BJP reacted to the latest developments and denounced the audio clip released by Congress by dubbing it 'fake'. 

Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar called the release of the audio clip as the 'handiwork of Congress' dirty tricks department' while speaking to ANI.

Hope Congress has planted some moles, who agree to BJP offers. That way BJP may not try to influence more.

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

 

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

 

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first.    There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI.    BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations.    BJP is doing propoganda only.   Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis.   We should ban them first.
