Congress leader K C Venugopal addresses a press conference:

"Entire country is shocked by hearing the news from Karnataka yesterday.

"The Karnataka CM released audio clippings of deliberation of Yeddyurappa with the brother of one of the JD-S MLAs revealing dirty politics of Modi ji and Amit Shah to destabilise the Karnataka government.

"It (audio clips) states that B S Yeddyurappa is offering Rs 10 cr per MLA and in his deliberation, it's clear there are 18 MLAs.

"Therefore it comes at the rate of around Rs 200 cr. He's offering 12 MLAs ministerial posts, six were offered chairman posts in different boards.

"He is also offering election expenses to MLAs after they resign.

"They offered Rs 50 crore to the speaker for not disqualifying his MLAs.

"Clippings are referring to the names of Amit Shah and Narendra Modi ji for managing here and there through Yeddyurappa himself," Venugopal said. -- ANI
