Alleging BJP of horse-trading, he said Congress-JD(S) MLAs have been offered Rs 100 crore each. Today constitution is being attacked. In Karnataka on one side there are MLAs standing and on the other side the Governor. JDS has said its MLAs have been offered Rs 100 crore each, said Rahul Gandhi, reports ANI.

Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi tweeted, The BJPs irrational insistence that it will form a Govt. in Karnataka, even though it clearly doesnt have the numbers, is to make a mockery of our Constitution. This morning, while the BJP celebrates its hollow victory, India will mourn the defeat of democracy.
