BJP president Amit Shah made an embarrassing goof-up in election-bound Karnataka on Tuesday. While addressing a press conference in the Devnagere city, Shah termed, albeit mistakenly, his party’s chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa as “the CM who led the most corrupt government in the country”. He, obviously, meant the incumbent CM K Siddaramaiah of the rival Congress party.
“A retired Supreme Court recently said that if we hold a competition for the most corrupt government in the country, then Yeddyurappa government shall be given the No. 1 award,” Shah rattled off as former chief minister Yeddyurappa, sitting by his side, looked stunned. Another party leader nudged Shah, who upon realising the blunder, corrected himself and took Siddaramaiah’s name.
