Hours after the Congress tried to send an ‘all is well’ message and ruled out any plan to replace Siddaramaiah as Karnataka Chief Minister, a leaked video of a senior Congress leader has triggered a fresh fire in power corridors. Visuals of three-time MLA BR Patil speaking over the phone have sparked a massive row as the Congress high command races against time in its political firefight.
In a video said to be from Krishnaraja Pete in Mandya, where Mr Patil was on a visit, he is heard saying, “Siddaramaiah hit a lottery. I was the one who introduced him to Sonia Gandhi. His fortunes were good and he became the Chief Minister. I have no Godfather or God. I met (Randeep Singh) Surjewala and said everything I had to. They heard me out with patience, let’s see what happens.”
