Ravi alleged that govt had not explained where pending Gruha Lakshmi funds had gone. He also claimed KSRTC employees’ provident fund money had been used to buy diesel. Referring to a sting operation case, Ravi alleged that its masterminds and actors belonged to Congress and that informants were being arrested to conceal the truth. He raised doubts about whether the video was being used to create a false impression about former chief minister Siddaramaiah and demanded a thorough investigation.
