HUBBALLI: Karnataka BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa has admitted that he met JD(S) MLA Naganagowda’s son Sharanagouda at the inspection bungalow in Devdurg.
He used to be speaking in context of an audio tape launched by way of state chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, the place he's purportedly heard conversing with Sharanagouda. Yeddyurappa charged that the MLA’s son met him on route from Kumaraswamy.
"He (Sharangouda) recorded the conversation and the audio clip was chopped according to the convenience, leaving out a major portion of the conversation. HD Kumaraswamy as a part of conspiracy sent Sharangouda to the inspection bungalow," said the former CM.
"Kumaraswamy stooped to a new low in politics by starting a trend of trapping elected representatives. It is true that I had a conversation with Sharangouda but not everything was revealed. The chief minister is indulging in conspiracy politics," he added.
"Assembly speaker KR Ramesh Kumar is an honest person, I did not offer anything to him, what Kumaraswamy alleged in the press conference was far from the truth," he additional added.
Earlier, Yeddyurappa had dismissed the audio clips saying it used to be fake and doctored and said that he had now not met somebody together with Naganagowda.
He used to be speaking to media persons at the Hubballi airport on Sunday. The former chief minister is within the town to participate in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election rally.
