The JD(S) on Thursday said the Congress and the BJP were two sides of the same coin when it came to corruption. 

Chiding Ananth Kumar over his remarks on corruption and associating H D Kumaraswamy with it, JD(S) leader Ramesh Babu said the BJP had no moral right to speak about their leaders.

He said that Ananth Kumar had been, time and again, attacking Kumaraswamy, when he himself had been associated with several scams and was named in the Nira Radia and HUDCO cases. 

Open debate

Babu challenged the five-time BJP MP from Bangalore South for an open debate with Kumarswamy on the contributions made by him towards the development of the State.
