Moily is also the Congress' manifesto committee chairman.
BJP member of parliament Rajeev Chandrasekhar has called out the Karnataka Congress leadership, accusing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of having a nexus with builders and contractors.

Veerappa Moily has however made a statement saying that the tweet was unauthorised and inappropriate. He said he will delete the tweet. he has refused to make any further comments on Congress' candidate selection.
