BJP alleges ‘scam’ in land allocation to Kharge family trust in K’taka

New Delhi: The BJP on Tuesday alleged a “scam” in allocation of a piece of land to a trust run by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s family in Karnataka and demanded a CBI probe into the matter.

BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia demanded Mallikarjun Kharge’s resignation as the Congress president and that of his son Priyank Kharge, who is a minister in the Karnataka government. “There is a consistency in the Congress’ acts of corruption. Wherever we will go we will do corruption is the new slogan of the Congress,” Bhatia said.
