Bangalore: Lokayukta Justice N. Santhosh Hegde, could still pulverise CM , and his notaries gang of politicians in cabinet and the party, with a slant in his final report before July 30, and despite certain pertains leaking in a preliminary form on July 21.
He could also hold BJP leaders fully responsible for eavesdropping on his phone conversations and for violating his privacy at home and in his office while on duty.
Although he is a creature of the state government, his duties could engulf CM and drawn him the way 8 officers were caught in possession on illegal wealth on Friday, in raids held in 9 places in Karnataka, LA. Police.
All eyes are still on the Lokayukta as to how he would deal with men in power, to expose them in their misdeeds against people and tax payers of the state.
The BJP national leadership has a heavy load on its shoulders and minds, while carrying state govt. under Yeddyurappa questionable leadership anymore.
The Lokayukta recommendations will carry weight even with the central UPA rulers, who are watching sharply for a new breakthrough, to pull down the state govt.
Hegde might have been floored by a back-kick of BJP in its sports but he is still on the battle ground, to deliver a hard last blow to those who denied him extensive powers, only to carry on their trade in political careers, as ministers/MLAs.
He was silent so far until the leakage, but he need not be submissive now, but an aggressive tiger swooping over his enemies in a chakravyuha (ring formed to defeat him).
Hegde does not owe any favour to BJP rulers in state, even when he may treat Advani (LK) IN high respect. Even LK Advani, did not want Yeddyurappa to continue by hook or crook in 2011.
The Governor H.R.Baradwaj has stated on Friday, that he would go by the Lokayukta’s recommendations, while taking action. That should come as a boon to Hegde in making his recommendations without fear or favour.
The press is kept on tenterhooks, as to what Governor may do on receiving Hedge’s report, even a copy of it. The Governor said he was the first to announce the fact of illegal mining activities conducted in the state before the Govt. took notice.
