Narayana Gowda, the disqualified Karnataka MLA on Tuesday, November 5 claimed that Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had given him ₹1,000 crores for the development of his Krishnarajpet constituency and the money was being spent for development works, NDTV reported according to news agency ANI.

"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 ₹700 crores for the development of Krishnarajpet constituency. He said he will give ₹300 crores more and will give ₹1,000 crores. He also provided that money afterward. 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, ”Gowda said.

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