Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah

Amid speculation over a potential change in Karnataka's leadership, Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly and BJP MLA R Ashoka expressed his discontentment with the ruling Congress party and stated that an election was required in the state, since the current government was corrupt and needed to exit.

"Since the last two years, there has been a tussle for power and the CM's chair. There are reports of money transactions to MLAs, as there is a fight for power between CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. Horse trading is going on within the party," R Ashoka said.

He further alleged that the state government is collecting 60 per cent bribe for conducting every business.

"We need an election in Karnataka because there is a 60% corrupt government in the state. This govt needs to go," he further said.

He said that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge had no power within the party.
