BJP MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar returns iPhone X gifted by Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy, tells him to stop misusing public money

BJP MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar slammed  Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy for misusing public money to hand out expensive gifts to elected representatives.

Kumaraswamy had presented a leather bag and iPhone X to the MPs from Karnataka ahead of an all-MPs meeting on Wednesday (18 July)

"You (Kumaraswamy) claim austerity, Pourakarmikas (corporation workers) are being denied salaries, but public money is being used for these kinds of expensive gifts?", Rajeev Chandrasekhar tweeted with pictures of iPhone X and “Moochies” bag.

JD(S) spokesperson Tanveer Ahmed hit back at Rajeev Chandrasekhar's comments.

However, BJP has backed Rajeev Chandrasekhar for calling out JDS' hypocrisy
