Congress MLA H.C. Balakrishna on Wednesday hit back at former minister K.N. Rajanna over his remarks on “black magic” affecting Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, suggesting that if such claims were to be believed, Mr. Rajanna himself — being close to the Chief Minister — would be the one responsible. On Tuesday, Mr. Rajanna had claimed that “black magic” may have rendered Mr. Siddaramaiah “politically helpless” and alleged that the party high command was acting against the Chief Minister’s loyalists.
