'Children of ruling party leaders part of sand mafia'
Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (RJP)
Bengaluru, Dec 11: BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa said that his party will reopen all cases wherein ‘clean chit’ has been given to Congress leaders by Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) and other investigating agencies.
Speaking at Nava Karnataka Nirmana Parivarthana Yatra at JP Nagar here on Sunday, December 11, Yeddyurappa said “The government is misusing the ACB and the CID to give clean chits to Congress leaders, including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, and at the same time registering false cases against leaders of rival parties,”
"As soon as we come to power, we will order review of all cases where clean chits have been given and order reinvestigation. We will send the Congress leaders to where they belong," Yeddyurappa added.
“Congress claims that BJP is a jail and bail party. But its own leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Oscar Fernandes are moving around after securing bail,” he said.
"The children of Congress leaders are actively involved in the sand mafia. Sand is being imported from Malaysia on the pretext on meeting the demand, by paying exorbitant rates," he alleged.
"Bengaluru has become the number-one rape city in the country. Mumbai has double the population of Bengaluru, but has a lower crime rate. We will change all that after coming to power. We will create a Nava Bengaluru," he promised.
He charged that the government had plunged the state into a debt trap with borrowings touching Rs 1.48 lac crore during the last four years.
