Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday questioned if the BJP became rich by selling tea across the country. Hitting out at the BJP over its manifesto while addressing media here, Kumaraswamy said, "BJP has stated in the manifesto that they will run a corruption-free government.
What corruption free? Did Modi sell tea around the country and make the party rich? This claim of corruption free government of his is fake." "Around 78 lakhs (rupees) was recovered from one BJP leader in Karwar. Where did this money come from?" he asked.
