Karnataka Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Saturday alleged that the Congress launched the 'PayCM' campaign targetting Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai because the party cannot tolerate a chief minister from the majority community like the Lingayat community.

Sudhakar said the PayCM campaign shows the desperation of Congress to come back to power. The Opposition party has sealed whatever little chances it had in Karnataka.

The Congress launched the PayCM campaign, putting out posters in public places with a QR code and an image of Bommai in the middle. Upon scanning, the QR Code redirects to a website 40percentsarkara.com launched by Congress 10 days ago. The party launched the campaign accusing the Bommai government of indulging in corruption.
