Karnataka CM's advisor Rayareddi admits rampant corruption; BJP attacks 'looting, misgovernance'

Koppal (Karnataka), Apr 9 (UNI) In a stunning admission that has rocked Karnataka's political circles, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s own economic advisor and senior Congress MLA Basavaraj Rayareddi on Wednesday declared that the state "stands first in corruption", triggering a political storm and putting the ruling Congress on the defensive.
The opposition BJP was quick to pounce on this admission, and said Rayareddi's remarks have "exposed the dark underbelly of the Congress regime".
Speaking at a public interaction organised by the Regional Imbalance Redressal Committee here, Rayareddi launched a scathing critique on systemic corruption, claiming that irrespective of which party is in power, Karnataka has earned the dubious distinction of being number one in graft.
