Bangalore: The harassment from opposition leaders, especially JD(S), which had collaborated in a 20 month government in 2007 with BJP, continues to pulverize the CM Yeddyurappa, who was Deputy to former CM H.D Kumaraswamy then.
HDK today called the CM (who was his former deputy for 20 months), B.S Yeddyurappa as a liar and a cheat and demanded his immediate resignation in view of land allotment scams in which CM’s sons and relatives were getting involved and being exposed, as he (HDK) claimed.
HDK said that there were enough records available to prove that CM favoured his close relatives, in preference to the law of the land.
He asked BJP leaders from Delhi, (LK Advani, Sushma and A. Jaitley) for their response to CM’s scams (involving Rs 5000 crores or more) when they were busy stalling Lok Sabha Rajya Sabha proceedings for Congress role in 2 G Spectrum scam running into Rs. 1.76 lakh crores and Mumbai’s Adarsh Housing flat allotments which caused resignations of a CM (Maharashtra) and a DMK Minister at the Centre. He was talking to newsmen.
HDK promised his listeners that JD-S would take up the Karnataka lands allotment scams in Lok Sabha, or if that is not allowed, then stage a dharna inside the Parliament soon.
When pressmen asked him about some old land scams HDK asked them to focus on current land scams in 2 and half years under BJP rule. They were “illegal” deals, he added.
HDK also counter challenged CM. on the land of 6 acres “allotted” to his own brother, Balakrishne Gowda, when HDK was CM in 2007, in response to a press enquiry and asked CM to substantiate it, or quit.
