"Siddaramaiah Hit Lottery": Karnataka Congress MLA's Leaked Video Amid Tussle

Hours after the Congress tried to send an 'all is well' message and ruled out any plan to replace Siddaramaiah as Karnataka Chief Minister, a leaked video of a senior Congress leader has triggered a fresh fire in power corridors. Visuals of three-time MLA BR Patil speaking over the phone have sparked a massive row as the Congress high command races against time in its political firefight.

In a video said to be from Krishnaraja Pete in Mandya, where Mr Patil was on a visit, he is heard saying, "Siddaramaiah hit a lottery. I was the one who introduced him to Sonia Gandhi. His fortunes were good and he became the Chief Minister. I have no Godfather or God. I met (Randeep Singh) Surjewala and said everything I had to. They heard me out with patience, let's see what happens."
