The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee on Saturday, 17 March, issued a show cause notice to Harsha Moily, the son of former Karnataka chief minister Veerappa Moily, over a controversial tweet from the latter’s account which alleged that there was “money politics.”
Karnataka will go to polls in a few months.
Interestingly, while Harsha has been asked for an explanation, Veerappa, the chief of the party’s manifesto committee, has not been asked for an explanation, although he had tweeted about it too.
The tweet, which was deleted soon after it was posted on Thursday night, said, “INC needs to solve money politics. We can’t afford to have road contractors and their nexus with the state PWD minister determine how candidates are selected for the upcoming assembly elections.”
