People making statements against me, to escape scams allegations: Cong leader BK Hariprasad
Koppal: Senior Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad, during a community wedding program held at Talabala village in Kukanur Taluk, Koppal, on Tuesday, strongly defended himself against allegations brought to the party's High Command. Hariprasad asserted that those leveling complaints against him are doing so in an attempt to divert attention from their own scandals and evade potential legal consequences for their wrongdoings.
His comments come in the wake of a recent accusation by the veteran leader against the Siddaramaiah government, in which he alleged that justice was being denied to Dalits and the Minority community. This statement led to criticism from several party members who accused B.K. Hariprasad of attempting to sabotage the party.
Addressing reporters, Hariprasad welcomed any complaints directed to the state party InCharge, stating that he would be pleased if this were the case. He challenged individuals making accusations to take their complaints to higher levels within the party.
Expressing his displeasure with Malur Congress MLA, K.V. Nanjegowda, Hariprasad suggested that Nanjegowda's complaints against him were intended to deflect attention from allegations of his own involvement in scams. Hariprasad urged Nanjegowda to demonstrate the same determination in addressing the scam allegations against him.
Responding to Basavangauda Patil Yatnal's assertion that the "Congress government in Karnataka would collapse in three months," Hariprasad dismissed the claim as wishful thinking, stating that there was no internal strife within the party. He emphasized that he did not require directives from Nagpur, a reference to the headquarters of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), unlike BJP leaders.
The event was attended by other Congress leaders.
