He has been assigned a position equivalent to that of a cabinet minister until the next order. Kanugolu is a Ballari native and a former collaborator of political strategist Prashant Kishor. Kanugolu, according to Congress sources, developed the concept for the ‘PayCM’ campaign in September of last year.The ‘PayCM’ campaign poster featured a QR Code with an image of then-Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in the center and the slogan “40% accepted here,” implying that a 40% bribe was being levied for all government services.
