While Rao was asked whether the MP Congress MLAs have been poached and kept in Bengaluru, the former KPCC chief said he is unaware about that.

"Toppling and removing governments through back door attempts have emerged as hobby and routine of BJP," Rao said about the Operation Lotus.

When asked about the appointment of KPCC president, he said the party high command has to take a call on it.

" There are many Congress state leaders in the race. But the decision of the High Command will be the final. However, I don't want any delay in appointing the KPCC chief," Rao said.

The Congress leader has also said that Karnataka will be in a position to fight the injustice from the central government.

"The Center's aid to Karnataka will be reduced to Rs 1 lakh crore in the next five years. So, we should fight against that move," Rao hinted.
