Bengaluru: Even as the Congress is grappling with senior leaders lobbying for their children and relatives to get tickets to contest the forthcoming Assembly elections, the ruling party suffered embarrassment when a scathing tweet by Chairman of the Party’s Manifesto Committee and former Union Minister Dr. M. Veerappa Moily slammed the process of selecting candidates.
However, after embarrassing the Congress by the tweet alleging the hand of road contractors in the selection of candidates, Moily disowned the tweet. Both Moily and his son Harsha Moily have deleted the tweet. The tweet that Veerappa Moily claimed was an “unauthorised” one accused Public Works Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa, without naming him, of using money power and his alleged nexus with corrupt contractors in selecting candidates for the Assembly elections.
