Siddaramaiah slams BJP chief Vijayendra, rakes up corruption issue

By our Special Correspondent

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday asked state BJP chief B Y Vijayendra to have a discussion with his disgruntled party leaders before challenging him to a debate. As a war of words erupted between the two over Congress’ pre-poll guarantees taking a toll on its financial health, Siddaramaiah reminded Vijayendra about a BJP leader’s statement that his father B S Yediyurappa became the chief minister by paying money to the BJP high command.
