Congress Faces Turmoil as Senior MLAs Expose Alleged Corruption

In a political standoff that's testing the Congress leadership, senior MLAs B R Patil and Raju Kage have raised serious allegations of bribery and governance breakdown in Karnataka. Patil, a senior Congress figure, met AICC General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala to discuss the bribery concerns related to public housing allocations.

In a leaked phone call that made waves across the state, Patil confirmed his accusations, pointing fingers at the current administration and highlighting systemic issues. The state's Congress leadership, already under scrutiny, is tasked with managing the internal dissent along with external accusations from BJP and JD(S) opponents.

Joining the fray, MLA Raju Kage has vocalized his criticisms against developmental delays and fund mismanagement in his region. Both MLAs' actions have put the ruling party in a defensive stance, with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah meeting the leaders to quell the unrest. Political opposition parties are seizing the moment to ramp up pressure on the government.
