Mysore/Mysuru: Reacting to the complaint filed by RTI activist Snehamayi Krishna against CM Siddaramaiah’s wife, B.M. Parvathi and KPCC spokesperson M. Lakshmana, alleging forgery and evidence tampering, Lakshmana told reporters today that supporters of Snehamayi Krishna had demanded Rs. 100 crore from him to remain silent on the issue. 

“A fortnight ago, Krishna’s supporters approached me and asked me to give Rs. 100 crore to Snehamayi Krishna and settle the issue on CM’s MUDA site controversy,” Lakshmana said.

Lakshmana revealed that 44 cases have been filed against Snehamayi Krishna Statewide, with 17 of those in Mysuru alone. He claimed that a ‘rowdy sheet’ has been opened against Snehamayi Krishna at K.R. Police Station in Mysuru, where he remains listed as a ‘rowdy’.

Lakshmana further claimed that the cases against Snehamayi Krishna include charges of murder, blackmail and intimidation. He suggested that a raid on Snehamayi Krishna’s home could reveal documents related to MUDA.

Lakshmana criticised the Police for not accepting complaints from the Congress party while readily accepting those from Snehamayi Krishna, highlighting the latter’s influence.
