The Congress on Thursday launched an attack against Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai alleging that he was directly involved in electoral fraud that has come to light in Bengaluru.
“Shocking expose reveals that those in citadels of power, including Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai, are responsible for theft of voters data, fraud and impersonation,” said Congress general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala, while addressing a press conference in Bengaluru on Thursday. Surjewala demanded a high-level probe in the matter and claimed a private agency named “Chilume” was authorised by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) – the urban local body of Bengaluru, to carry out a door-to-door survey of voters in the city.
He claimed that the agency collected their personal details, a breach of privacy, and a fraud played up on Bengalurians.
“CM Bommai, his officials, govt officers, BBMP people and State Election authority are partners in crime in trampling democracy,” he alleged.
