The Congress leadership is embroiled in controversy over the land scandal

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has leveled serious allegations against the top echelons of the Congress party, alleging widespread involvement in a corruption scandal related to land deals.

BJP spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi pointed the finger at Congress leaders after a controversial withdrawal of a land application by a trust associated with Congress president Mallikarjun’s family charge This withdrawal, according to BJP, indicates an acknowledgment of wrongdoing.

These allegations come in the wake of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s family problems, with legal action against them in similar matters. The BJP argues that this is part of a pattern that includes Congress figures such as Sonia and Rahul Gandhi facing allegations in the National Herald case.
