Karnataka govt tapping phones of political leaders, alleges BJP
(The Times of India)

The BJP`s Karnataka unit on Thursday accused the HD Kumaraswamy government of tapping phones of political leaders across party lines fearing that a few disgruntled MLAs from the ruling Congress-JD(S) coalition may resign. The government did not trust their own MLAs and alliance partners and was worried that leaders may `betray` them, BJP general secretary C T Ravi told reporters.
