Bitcoin scam: What PM Modi told Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai

Amid opposition furore over the bitcoin scam in Karnataka, chief minister Basavaraj S Bommai met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday. The CM said the PM did not discuss the scam but talked about various topics on the state’s development.

Talking to media after his meeting, Bommai said, “The Prime Minister did not wish to dwell much on the Bitcoin issue. However I myself raised the issue. The Prime Minister told me not to bother much on the Bitcoin issue. Just focus on working for the welfare of the people with integrity and boldness, and things will fall in place. Don’t worry much on the Bitcoin issue.”

Karnataka CM , who also called on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President JP Nadda in the national capital, said that he “presented details of the deliberations of the BJP State Core Committee meeting held recently in Bengaluru.” “I urged JP Nadda to finalise the party candidates for the forthcoming MLC polls as early as possible as it would help the party to prepare better for the poll battle,” he added.

Bommai also informed that Nadda had obtained details about the proposed tour of state leaders in four teams and as of now the BJP national president is busy with preparations for Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. “Nadda said that Karnataka too is a very important state for us and he will make time and come to Karnataka soon on a one day visit and hold a meeting with the BJP state president and other office-bearers of the party,” Bommai said quoting Nadda.
