CM, BSY fling corruption charges against each other

Bengaluru, Feb 21: Warming up for the 2018 Assembly elections, BJP leader B S Yeddyurappa and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah traded corruption charges.

Yeddyurappa on Monday said he will quit politics if he fails to send Siddaramaiah and his family members to jail for corruption after coming to power, while Siddaramaiah hit back terming him the most corruption politician.

Addressing BJP workers at a protest dharna against corruption in the state government, the BJP leader said he will order an enquiry into corruption charges within 48 hours after becoming the chief minister.

Yeddyurappa had recently charged Siddaramaiah with having paid Rs 1,000 crore to the Congress high command. He had also accused the chief minister of taking a Rs 150-crore kickback for sanctioning the steel flyover project in Bengaluru.

Siddaramaiah said Yeddyurappa is facing 20 cases. It is ironical that the person who went to jail is speaking against corruption. Charges made by the BJP leader are baseless. In reality, a CD released by the Congress recently has exposed the BJP leaders, he added.

He said the state Congress will also protest against corrupt BJP leaders. The state Congress will chalk out a plan in this regard, he added.

Dear Chediyurappa,

We all Kannadigas well understood about you and your capacity, intention, ability and what you earned and lost and what you set up in DUBAI during your previous chief minister tenure. Now don't split to sky.

For power and money you never spared any one or your life ------- or even bjp. People never expect any thing from such mind set.

For Siddaramayya, so far nothing went wrong or he did . If any wrong administration then public will give right answer.
Suggesting Not To Fool the public any more - because you don't have faith on God.

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
