BJP is indulging in horse trading offering crores of rupees: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru, Dec 30: “BJP is on the toes to topple the Congress-JDS coalition government through operation lotus. It has indulged in horse trading by offering minimum Rs 25-30 crore to each MLA”, former chief minister and Coordination Committee Chairman Siddaramaiah tweeted.
The Opposition BJP has been trying to topple the coalition government ever since it came into existence. Where was the BJP getting money to purchase the MLAs? If the BJP was not corrupt, how it would get such huge money, he asked in the Twitter.
The Congress leaders were not able to get in touch with former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi. Close on the heels of rumours that Ramesh was in Mumbai or New Delhi, the tweet of Siddaramaiah that BJP was trying to poach Congress MLAs has created new debate in the state.
It is said that some disgruntled Congress MLAs who were denied ministerial berths during Cabinet expansion were in touch with the BJP and might fall prey to Operation Lotus. Amidst this, sources said that the BJP has been conspiring to topple the coalition government.
ಕುದುರೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಂತಿರುವ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಪ್ರತಿ ಶಾಸಕರಿಗೆ ರೂ.25 ರಿಂದ 30 ಕೋಟಿ ಹಣ ನೀಡಿ ಖರೀದಿಸಲು ಮುಂದಾಗಿದೆ. ಅವರು ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರಿಗಳಲ್ಲದೇ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಇಷ್ಟು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಮೊತ್ತದ ಹಣ ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ?

3 officials of private banks arrested in Gujarat in Rs 2,500 crore cyber fraud; 20 held so far
Rajkot (PTI): Three officials of leading private banks were arrested for their alleged involvement in a Rs 2,500-crore cyber fraud racket in Gujarat's Rajkot district, bringing the number of those held so far in the case to 20, police said on Monday.
Those arrested were identified as Maulik Kamani, a personal manager at Yes Bank in Padadhari; Kalpesh Dangariya, a manager at Axis Bank in Jamnagar; and Anurag Baldha, a personal banker with HDFC Bank, Rajkot (Rural) Superintendent of Police Vijay Gurjar said.
Dangariya and Baldha were previously employed with Yes Bank, he added.
Kamani allegedly assisted the earlier arrested accused in opening and managing suspicious accounts. He also helped bypass banking alerts triggered by high-value transactions by submitting additional documentation to keep accounts active, the SP said.
Kamani was allegedly involved in cash withdrawals that were later routed through hawala channels (illegal money transfer system), supported by digital evidence recovered from his mobile device, he added.
Dangariya is accused of facilitating the opening of fraudulent accounts using fake or misrepresented identities, police said.
He also assisted in structuring documentation, including Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC)-related papers, to prevent transactions from being flagged as suspicious, they said.
On the other hand, Baldha opened new accounts after verification and certification processes as part of the racket, Gurjar informed.
All the three accused are in police custody, while others are in jail under judicial remand, SP said.
So far, police have identified 85 bank accounts linked to the racket with 535 complaints filed on the cyber crime portal.
The total transaction linked to the cyber fraud exceeds Rs 2,500 crore, police said.
The earlier fraud amount was pegged by police at Rs 1,500 crore.
