Karnataka Corruption Row: Minister Joshi Slams Congress Over MLA's Bribery Claims

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi criticizing the Karnataka state government, led by the Congress party, for corruption, citing a statement from Congress MLA BR Patil as evidence. Joshi's remarks suggest that the government is inherently corrupt, existing "for corruption, by corruption, and of the people who do corruption," implying systemic issues within the administration.

The context of Joshi's statement is rooted in a leaked audio clip where BR Patil allegedly accuses officials of taking bribes for house allotments under the Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corporation, a claim that has embarrassed the Congress party and prompted backlash from the opposition BJP. This incident highlights internal dissent within the Congress and fuels the ongoing political narrative of corruption in Karnataka.
