The JD(S), on the other hand, has brought out its own set of allegations against the BJP and Yeddyurappa. Deve Gowda’s sons H D Revanna and H D Kumaraswamy have accused Yeddyurappa’s sons of making profits on a scheme to provide bicycles to rural girls by hiking the purchase price of the bicycles. Kumaraswamy has also accused Yeddyurappa of demanding Rs five crore to quit the BJP and join the JD(S) in the early stages of power negotiations between the two parties. The former CM has further questioned the BJP leader’s allotment of contracts for building minor airports in Shimoga and Gulbarga even before he had proved his majority in the Assembly.

By Monday evening, the Congress also jumped into mud-slinging and demanded a stop to all decisions taken by the JD(S) and the BJP in their last days in office. “We will approach the Governor to ask him to halt all unilateral decisions taken by ministries under the JDS and the BJP,” KPCC president Mallikarjun Kharge said.
