Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday accused the Congress of trying to win the Legislative Council elections scheduled to be held on December 10 using "money power" and claimed that it has lost people's support.
Addressing "Vijay Sankalp" convention organised by the BJP at Attibele, Mr Bommai said, "The Congress had stooped to the level of using any means to win the election. Fielding those with moneybags as its candidates, making them pay big for the party kitty.
"Fall of morality in Congress party is clear. People should show Congress its place as the party is trying to win the election through immoral splurge of money."
Refuting former CM Siddaramaiah's allegations that BJP always used money and muscle power to win elections, Mr Bommai said it is the Congress party which indulged in money distribution.
