Bengaluru: Save yourself from going to jail first - CM Siddaramaiah to B S Yeddyurappa


Bengaluru, Aug 20 (Deccan Chroncle): Ridiculing state BJP chief B.S. Yeddyurappa’s threat to send him to jail should his party come to power in Karnataka in the 2018 poll, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday advised him to first save himself from going to prison.

Speaking to reporters here, he said Yeddyurappa , who was pulled up by his national party president, Amit Shah for various shortcomings, was now making baseless allegations and threats against Congress leaders. “Let him first save himself from landing in jail once again before threatening to send Congress netas to prison. Frustration is causing BJP leaders to rake up so-called corruption issues , forgetting that many of their own leaders have already spent time in jail. It is unbecoming of them to make charges without evidence,” he added.

Coming down hard on the BJP rally in Bengaluru demanding the resignations of Energy Minister, D K Shivakumar and Small Scale Industries Minister, Ramesh Jarkiholi, who have been raided by the Income Tax department, he wanted to know if the charges against them had been proved. "BJP leaders lack common sense. They have come out on the streets for their own interests. Let them try any tactic but they will not come to power in the state. It is the Congress which will return for another five years," he asserted.

Dismissing claims that his government was carrying out a political vendetta against Yeddyurappa, the Chief Minister said the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) had carried out an investigation of its own volition into the denotification done by his government in the Shivaramakaranth Layout and asked him to appear before it.

“I have no role to play in the ACB filing a chargesheet against the BJP leader," he stressed.

Siddaramaiah defended the quality of food served at the Indira Canteens, saying he himself had tasted it on the day of their inauguration and found it to be good. “Except for minor hiccups the canteens are functioning without a hitch. The opposition parties are making baseless allegations because they are unhappy with the success of the scheme to provide quality food at concessional rates to the poor,” he claimed.

On Governor Vajubhai Vala's letter to the government against denotification of over 1,500 water bodies across the state, he once again denied there was any such proposal before it and promised to reply to Vala giving all the information he wanted within a week.


No conspiracy, says Ayyappa

Dr D Ayyappa, former vice chancellor of a private university, on Saturday ruled out any conspiracy behind his move to lodge a complaint with ACB against state BJP president B.S. Yeddyurappa on denotification of land in Dr Shivaram Karanth layout.

He told the media here that he submitted the complaint in his capacity as president of ‘Janasamanyara Vedike’, through Anubhava Mantapa. Based on the findings of a preliminary inquiry, a First Information Report (FIR) was registered. Contrary to charges by Yeddyurappa, the conspiracy theory was far from truth, he added.

Dr Aiyappa said the state witnessed several scams about denotification of land much to the dismay of citizens besides depriving them an opportunity to acquire sites. He challenged Yeddyurappa to come clean on the issue of denotification in case he wished to return to hold the reins as Chief Minister, he added.

He challenged Yeddyurappa to appear before officers of ACB to prove that he was clean.

    Sri. Yeddyurappa, when you took the seat to rule Karnataka, do you remember the number of Church attacks in September 2008? You have deliberately caused much agony to the minority Christian community in Karnataka. Why since the Congress party began to rule Karnataka, no attacks falsely stated as usual by your party " forced conversion ".

    Attacks against the minority defenseless Christians have tripled in three years under your deities rules in New Delhi. Watch for the lessons they are going to learn.

    It is a 8 year old case and the High Court has acquitted Yedurappa in this case.Siddarammiah is using ACB and Bureaucrats to dig the case again.KAS officer Badava rajendra has testified that he was forced and threatened to to act against Yedurappa which proves vendetta politics.

    Actually hublot watch alone is enough to send him to Bellary jail. But our lokayukta is not interested. All constitutional institutions are political party offices.
    I am very surprised lokayukta did not initiate any enquiry into that case....

    Hublot watch case is an open and shut case. It was handed over to the state treasury in the assembly and is now a state property.

    In the meanwhile, we have not forgotten Jailyurappa's jail yatra, Eshu's cash counting machine of your "great" Nationalist party.

    As per your logic , if he gives 10,000/- cash to state treasury, can he come out on bail?

    The concept of independent Lokayuktha was diluted and partial ACB was instituted and installed with vested interest with an intent to strike at appropriate time. It has happened now at the eve of election with a prime catch. Progressive society reacted against this impropriety then but congress leadership was adamant with their master plan. If corruption is a criteria to initiate criminal procedure, how many will be left in the present government to offer governance is an interesting question. What is to be diluted and what is to be concentrated will be decided by an autocratic leader who hails the ideals of democracy in every breath.....! Incredible.

    Mr. Siddhu Anna don't bother Yeddi comment let him say whatever he wants. You are doing a good job as a CM.
    People know when Yeddi was CM what he has done. People know when BJP was there how many CM have come & gone. Yeddi, DKS, Shetteir ..
    Next don't be over confidence also saying next again we will rule for 5 years. You cant judge peoples mind.
    So just be quiet listen to Yeddi's comments ,SHobha criticizes, BJP 's frustrations.Because it is instructed by their Big Dad Amith shah Just see & enjoy & have a laugh.
    If you start reacting 7 commenting opposite 7 saying back bad to them then there is no difference between you and Yeddi.
    So just listen & see the fun.
