Billboards against Karnataka govt in T'gana, a conspiracy: CM Bommai
Bengaluru, Sep 18: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday termed as a systematic conspiracy the billboards against the BJP government that have allegedly come up in Telangana.
I am not aware of them (billboards in Telangana against 40% commission) as I have not been there, but if it's true, then it is systematic conspiracy, Bommai told reporters.
He was replying to a query on some billboards having come up in Telangana stating that there is 40% commission government in Karnataka and alleging corruption in the State.
Bommai wonders how appropriate it would be if such billboards are put up in Karnataka itself. I have no clue whether it was a private board or a government board.
However, the State governments should not allow such boards to be put up in their States. That spoils the relation between the States.
