With the Karnataka elections around the corner, the parties have been creating a list of potential leaders is being published.
So have Congress; only the list is a fake one.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said the Congress party had not yet finalized the list of candidates for the upcoming state assembly polls and that a “fake” list was in circulation to create confusion.
He said in a tweet:
I am told a list of Congress candidates for Karnataka Election is under circulation.
The AICC has not approved the list of candidates yet. The “list” under circulation is fake. It has been done to create confusion.
Please don’t patronize products of the #FakeNews factory.
