The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- BJP MLA Doddanagouda Patil has alleged that the Karnataka Congress government gave two ministerial positions to Koppal district during the recent cabinet expansion, calling one a 'district quota' and the other a 'payment quota'.
- He claimed the expansion happened after a monetary deal or settlement was completed, and said he stands by his earlier statement that 100 to 150 crore rupees was being demanded for a ministerial post.
- He also congratulated new ministers Shivaraj Tangadagi and Basavaraj Rayareddy and urged them to start fast-track development work in the district.
What to watch next
- Whether the MLA names which minister allegedly got the post under the 'payment quota', as he said this would become clear in coming days
- Any response or rebuttal from the Karnataka Congress government or the new ministers
- Whether the corruption allegation leads to any formal complaint or investigation
