Disqualified Karnataka MLA Narayana Gowdo on Tuesday alleged that Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had granted him Rs 1,000 crore for the development of the Krishnarajpet constituency and the money was being utilized for development work, ANI reported.

"Somebody came to me and took me to BS Yediyurappa's residence at 5 am (before the HD Kumaraswamy government fell). When we entered his home, Yediyurappa was worshiping. Once I entered, he asked me to sit and asked me to support him so that he can become the chief minister once again," he said while speaking to his supporters.


"I asked him to allot Rs. 700 crores for the development of Krishnarajpet constituency. He said he will give Rs. 300 crores more and will give Rs. 1,000 crores. He also provided that money afterwards. Don't you think I should support such a great person, I did it. Right after Yediyurappa said we got nothing to do with disqualified MLAs," Mr Gowda added.

Gowda further claimed that a former JD-S MLA, who was also disqualified, has made a statemment in Mandya that "he supported the Yediyurappa government for the funds to develop his constituency."
