Discord in Karnataka: Congress MLAs Voice Dissent Amid Alleged Corruption

Divisions surface in Karnataka's Siddaramiah-led government as Congress MLAs, Raju Kage and BR Patil, publicly criticize alleged irregularities in housing allotments. Amidst claims of systemic failings, resignations loom as internal discord becomes evident.

The Siddaramiah-led Karnataka government is facing internal turmoil as public grievances from within its ranks come to light. Congress MLA Raju Kage openly criticized his own government, reinforcing allegations of corruption and inefficiency levied by fellow party leader BR Patil regarding housing allotment irregularities.

With claims of administrative failures coming to the forefront, Kage indicated that resignation could be imminent. "Officials are not performing their duties in our government," Kage elaborated, citing the stall in a sanctioned Rs 25 crore grant. The MLA expressed disillusionment with the current state of affairs, deeming the system 'completely failed'.

BR Patil previously accused the Housing Board of bribery in the allocation process for the Rajiv Gandhi housing scheme. As pressure mounts, Patil is set to meet Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to address these damning allegations. The Congress is under the spotlight, navigating through claims of systemic corruption and internal disputes.
