BJP leaders luring me to join party: MLA Raje Gowda Alleges
Bengaluru, September 18: Amidst curious political developments of operation lotus, Sringeri Congress MLA T.D Raje Gowda Alleged that some BJP leaders have asked him to join the saffron party and offered huge amount for that purpose and thus disclosed plot of the BJP.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, he said that "I believed in secular ideologies of the Congress. I have adopted these ideologies in life and entered politics. Former chief minister Siddaramaiah and D.K Shivakumar are my leaders. I will not desert the Congress and go to other political party", he said.
He alleged that after MLC Election, some BJP leaders from Shivamogga and Sakaleshpura had approached him and lured him with huge money and minister post if he joined the BJP. But he was Congressman by birth. He has started his political career from Congress. So, he has rejected the BJP offer and he would stay in the Congress, he added.
BJP leaders should clarify about the money they have got to lure the opposition MLAs for operation lotus. It was the money made through illegal means. The BJP leaders have been trying to poach him in operation lotus before and after the election. The BJP leaders who claim themselves as honest people have lured him with huge amount. But he would not leave the Congress. He would not undergo operation lotus, he clarified.
