BJP Karnataka President Nalin Kumar Kateel alleged that Congress leader Siddaramaiah became Karnataka’s Chief Minister in 2013 by paying party chief Sonia Gandhi. He said that Siddaramaiah was chosen over other senior leaders such as Mallikarjun Kharge and DK Shivakumar. “Siddaramaiah made payment to Madam Sonia…Through payments only Siddaramaiah kept Madam happy,” said Kateel.
