Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday hit out at the BJP candidate for Kalaburagi Lok Sabha seat Umesh Jhadav over a visit to the house of the alleged kingpin in police sub-inspector recruitment scam and alleged the saffron party can go to any lengths to secure votes.

Sharing images of a news clip on ‘X’, the Chief Minister said it was shocking yet not surprising that Umesh Jadhav visited the house of RD Patil, a key accused in the police sub-inspector (PSI) recruitment scam, for a lavish meal.

“This is a slap in the face to innocent students impacted by the scam. BJP leaders will go to any lengths for votes, blatantly ignoring the plight of those affected,” he alleged.
