Bangalore: C.P.Yogeshwar was elected in a by-poll with a thumping majority on a BJP ticket, by people who did no know his antecedents well, because they regret it.
Now within a few months of his becoming a minister(for forests), on the strength of his remarkable win, several changes made against him, haunt him in court cases made by people, affected by his Mega City Co.’s financials deals that ended in fraud cases, enriching only himself, by crores of rupees. He has declared his assets.
Governor H.R.Bharadvaj has instructed the new CM, DVS Gowda, to take action against errant Yogeshwar, which may end in his resignation from the Cabinet. The Central Corporate Affairs ministry (now headed by Veerappa Moily) has seriously reported on the minister’s fraud cases.
State CID also has conducted an enquiry and reported against Yogeshwar. Those who paid money but lost sites in Yogeshwar’s project have taken up cudgels against him now
