Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah contested on Wednesday
BJP and JD(S)'s claim that Congress's Rajasthan in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala "officiated" at a meeting of the state government and civic officials of Bengaluru the previous day.
Siddaramaiah's response came just before a BJP delegation, led by former deputy CM R Ashoka, met governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot to submit a complaint alleging that the Congress government allowed Surjewala to be present at an official meeting with senior bureaucrats.
