Vishwanath sold to BJP to repay his debts: SR Mahesh makes serious allegation
Bengaluru: "The leader who was our party state president has pointed towards me saying that he has resigned because of me. He himself had given a statement four months back. I would like to read out that statement before the House. Vishvanath had said 'opposition party is in urgency to grab power. But it is not fair to take wrong route for power. It is detrimental to purchase MLAs in a democratic system', Minister SR Mahesh said in the House.
"But when he made serious allegations against me, I have invited him to my farm house and asked him whether he wanted to become a minister. But he said he doesn't want to become minister. When I asked, he said he has borrowed loans during elections and he has to repay Rs 28 crores and now he was in trouble. Vishwanath also said that BJP people have contacted him and agreed to give him amount. But Deve Gowda had given him the responsibility believing him. So he said he would not leave the party and asked me to arrange anyhow to repay the loans. But I have said I would give him some amount every month with the money I would earn", he said.
"When I have gone to America, I have called him and asked whom should I give the money for this month. But he said he would come home. After this, he has levelled serious allegations against me. It's clear that he has gone to Mumbai after getting money. I came to know about it when he made allegations against me. Summon Vishwanath to the House. Let him prove that my words are false", Mahesh challenged.

Petrol pump worker killed as SUV hits motorcycle head-on in Gurugram
Gurugram (PTI): A petrol pump worker died after an SUV rammed into his motorcycle in the Sushant Lok area here, police said on Thursday.
The accused driver fled the scene, leaving the vehicle after the accident. An FIR has been registered at the Sushant Lok police station, they said.
According to police, the accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when Mukesh was travelling from Sector 44 to Sushant Lok on Vyapar Kendra Road for some work.
Near Vyapar Kendra, a white Thar coming from the wrong side at high speed hit his motorcycle head-on, leaving him critically injured, they said.
The driver fled the scene, leaving the vehicle behind, police added.
Eyewitnesses claimed the vehicle had no number plates either at the front or rear.
Locals took Mukesh to a private hospital, where he died during treatment, police said. He was a resident of Rohta Patti in Palwal and worked at a petrol pump in Sector 44.
An FIR was registered against the unidentified driver, based on a complaint lodged by his brother Ashok. The body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem on Thursday, police said.
“The Thar vehicle has been seized from the spot. CCTV footage from the area is being examined, and the driver will be arrested soon,” a Gurugram police spokesperson said.
