Siddaramaiah slams BJP candidate for visiting house of alleged police recruitment scam kingpin

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday hit out at the BJP candidate for Kalaburagi Lok Sabha seat Umesh Jhadav over a visit to the house of the alleged kingpin in police sub-inspector recruitment scam and alleged the saffron party can go to any lengths to secure votes.

Sharing images of a news clip on ‘X’, the Chief Minister said it was shocking yet not surprising that Umesh Jadhav visited the house of RD Patil, a key accused in the police sub-inspector (PSI) recruitment scam, for a lavish meal.

“This is a slap in the face to innocent students impacted by the scam. BJP leaders will go to any lengths for votes, blatantly ignoring the plight of those affected,” he alleged.
