In a major embarrassment to Karnataka BJP and its chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa, the party’s national president Amit Shah has described the former as the most corrupt in the state.
The video clip of the slip of the tongue is now going viral on social media.
“Recently, a retired Supreme Court judge said if there was ever a competition of the most corrupt government, then the Yeddyurappa government is number one...” said Shah, inadvertently, while addressing a press conference.
The comment has shocked Yeddyurappa and the BJP leadership. BJP MP Pralhad Joshi immediately corrected Shah by saying into his ear, “Siddaramaiah government.” Realising his gaffe, Shah corrected himself and said: ”Arre re...Siddaramaiah government is number one in corruption.”
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah then tweeted, saying that the BJP president had spoken the ‘truth.’ He wrote: “The #ShahOfLies finally speaks truth. Thank you @AmitShah.”
Shah is in Karnataka, where assembly elections will take place on May 12 with the vote counting set for May 15.

That is true. Yediurappa appropriated substantial sum of citizens money.
This is the game of Almighty.
