Chavan alleged that a corrupt double engine government is functioning in the state where one Chief Minister "resigned over corruption charges", while another is facing "40 percent commission charges" on every project.
Even BJP MLAs are alleging that a rate of Rs 2,500 crore has been fixed for the CM's post, he said.
"The BJP was rejected by the public last time, but they stole power through horse-trading with the blessings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he charged.
Chavan said the people of Karnataka would discard the corrupt government in the State and the dictatorial policies of the Centre.
