Chitradurga: MLC KS Naveen on Sunday questioned chief minister DK Shivakumar’s allegations against the BJP over Karnataka Public Service Commission examination irregularities, asking why the Congress govt had failed to act during the past three-and-a-half years.Addressing a news conference in Chitradurga, Naveen said Congress leaders should have conducted a proper investigation and revealed the truth if they believed the irregularities occurred during the BJP regime. He said political statements would not befit the stature of the chief minister while the Enforcement Directorate was investigating the case.Naveen sought a transparent investigation and strict action against those found guilty, saying people would draw their own conclusions once the facts emerged.He claimed guarantee schemes had pushed Karnataka into financial distress and said the finance department had reportedly advised against announcing new schemes. However, Shivakumar continued to announce projects worth thousands of crores of rupees, he alleged, warning that the state’s financial situation could deteriorate further if the trend continued.Naveen also announced that BJP would protest against Rahul Gandhi in Chitradurga after Vijayadashami, accusing him of making misleading and provocative statements that could create unrest in the country.BJP district president KT Kumaraswamy and district general secretaries Madhuri Girish, Venkatesh Yadav and Nagaraj Bedre attended the news conference.
