Mysore/Mysuru: Referring to reports that the Chief Minister’s Office had sent cash ranging from Rs.2.5 lakh to 5 lakh to selected scribes in the name of Deepavali gift, MLC A.H. Vishwanath has sought a probe into the entire episode.
Addressing a press meet at Patrakartara Bhavan here yesterday, Vishwanath said that he has been associated with the press for over 40 years, during which he had seen distribution of sweet box and exchange of greeting for Deepavali. But now this gift giving has taken a new turn with the CM’s Office accused of sending huge amount of cash to journalists.
