Mysuru: Maintaining that he was unaware of former Union Minister C.M. Ibrahim’s statement in Mysuru yesterday — that Siddaramaiah had won from the Badami Assembly segment in the 2018 elections by purchasing votes — Chief Minister Siddaramaiah clarified that Ibrahim is not in the Congress.
Speaking to reporters at Mysuru Airport this morning, Siddaramaiah, replying to a question, said Ibrahim had worked for him during the 2018 polls, but the claim that votes were purchased was new to him as he had never heard of such a thing. He maintained that he had stayed in Badami for only two days in the run-up to the 2018 Assembly polls.
