Siddaramaiah questions PM over his leaders' corruption cases

New Delhi: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday tweeted a tongue-in-cheek reply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remark on the Karnataka government being corrupt.

The answer comes after Prime Minister Modi had said that the Congress government in Karnataka is a 'seedha-rupaiah sarkar', hinting at Siddaramaiah directly.

The Karnataka chief also said that the BJP is trying to hide the 35000 crores illegal iron-ore mining scam of the Reddy brothers.

"Can you speak for 5 mins on the ethics of using the Reddy Brothers to win an election? Making someone who has 23 cases of corruption, cheating, forgery your CM candidate. When will you speak of your top 11 leaders facing corruption cases? Awaiting your answer," the tweet further read.

Both of them have been engaging in the war of words and verbally attacking each other during public rallies in the view of upcoming assembly elections in the state.
