I made Jadhav contest against Kharge: Chinchansur

Bengaluru: The state Congress has released a video in which BJP leader Baburao Chinchansur is seen bragging about luring newly-elected Gulbarga MP Umesh Jadhav into resigning as a Congress legislator.

In the 39-second video clip he is heard saying that “after I lost from Gurmitkal, I was the one who got him (Jadhav) to resign. I was the one who got him to contest against Kharge and I was the one who caused him Mallikarjuna Kharge to be defeated.”

Baburao is also heard claiming that Jadhav was offered to be made a union minister.

Chinchansur was earlier with the Congress and was seen as a close aide of veteran Kharge.
