BENGALURU: Karnataka Minister for RDPR, IT, and BT, Priyank Kharge, on Monday launched a scathing attack on the BJP after Maharashtra Police arrested his close associate Lingaraj Kanni on drug peddling charges, asserting that the Congress has already taken swift disciplinary action and challenging the BJP to show similar resolve against its own tainted leaders.
The arrested individual, Lingaraj Kanni, is president of the Kalaburagi South Block Congress Unit and is known to be close to both Priyank Kharge and Congress MLA Allamaprabhu Patil.
