Rs.1,000 crore scam behind government collapse: UT Khadar levels serious allegation
Mangaluru: In a serious allegation, Minister UT Khader has said that there was a Rs 1,000 crore scam behind the collapse of the state's alliance government.
Speaking to Vartha Bharathi, he said that the democratically elected government was dislodged by misusing constitutional institutions and holing up MLAs. "It is a scam of around Rs 1,000 and a democratic carnage," Khader alleged.
"We have received information that everyone was paid Rs 60-70 crores. They say that black money was reduced following note ban. But what we can call the money which is being offered now. Isn't it black money," he asked.
We are not behind the power. Rather, we are for the people of the assembly. I have submitted my resignation letter to the party president long before this.
While resigning for a party, I was just as happy as I was during the swearing-in at the Rajbhavan. I would once again get the ministerial berth if I get people's blessings. It is very rare to get an opportunity to sacrifice for the sake of the party when it is in trouble," he said.
I will continue development work as an MLA of the Ullal Assembly Constituency. We will be in the opposition and face the BJP government effectively. I would like to thank the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, members of the Cabinet, members of my constituency, activists, people of the district, officials of my department and media friends for assisting me in development work and cooperating me to uplift the Someshwara Gram Panchayat,” Minister UT Khader added.
