Produce evidence, Bommai tells Siddaramaiah
Launching a counter-attack on Congress which has accused the BJP government of trying to protect prominent politicians in the alleged bitcoin scam, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said such ‘baseless’ allegations will boomerang on the party and Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah.
Speaking to mediapersons in Bengaluru, the Chief Minister said that the key accused in the case, hacker Sri Krishna, could have been arrested back in 2018, but the then Siddaramaiah-led government had not done so. It was the BJP government which later arrested the kingpin, he maintained.
“Should I now say that the then Chief Minister was responsible for money laundering?” he asked. “Being in a responsible position as a Chief Minister, I do not want to say anything which will lower the dignity of this post.” He urged Mr. Siddaramaiah not to indulge in “kite flying.”
