Siddaramaiah Aide's Comment On Corruption Brings Cheer To Opposition Camp

Congress's Basavaraj Rayareddy, MLA from Yelaburga and the financial advisor to the Chief Minister, has scored a self-goal for the party with his unfiltered criticism of the Siddaramaiah government. Speaking at a programme in his constituency Yelaburga, Mr Rayareddy had spoken of "rampant corruption" that has "become a bane to developmental works". It has been music to the ears of the state's opposition BJP, which has found itself at a loose end after its abysmal performance in the state election.
