Siddaramaiah paid Rs 1K cr to Cong top brass to remain in power, claims Yeddy

February 11, 2017

Bengaluru, Feb 11: Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has now accused the incumbent Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of paying over Rs 1,000 crore to Congress leaders in Delhi to save his chair.

Addressing media persons in Bagalkot the BJP state president claimed that a diary seized by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had revealed that Rs 1,000 crore in donation was given by chief minister Siddaramaiah to his party high command.

He added that the amount was taken by Siddaramaiah's parliamentary secretary, MLC K Govindaraj. "The CM should disclose to the people whether a diary has been found and if Govindaraj was indeed questioned by the ED," he pointed out.

Mr Yeddyurappa said he was ready to disclose all details on the floor of the house, but he wanted the CM to come out with them.

‘We are like brothers’

Yeddyurappa said fellow BJP?leader K?S?Eshwarappa and he were like brothers and there were no differences between them. “We will tour the state together and bring the BJP?back to power,” he said.

To a query, Yeddyurappa said that it is left to former chief minister S?M?Krishna to take a call on joining the BJP. “I have no information on the Congress MLA and former minister M?H?Ambareesh joining the BJP,” he stated.

Cong rubbishes allegation

Rubbishing the allegations, Siddaramaiah said: "If he has anything to prove on his statement, let him make it public. If not, he should retire from politics."

Sharing the same view, KPCC president G Parameshwara said: "A person in a responsible position, who was also a former CM, should not make such irresponsible statements. If he has any tangible proof of the allegations, then let him make it public."

KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao said such statements are being made in desperation by Yeddyurappa, as he knows he is losing ground in the state.

"The I-T department conducted the raids. Let the department and ED complete investigations and submit the findings. Does Yeddyurappa have the powers to predict what the raids have yielded? How did he come to know what has been seized?" law minister T B Jayachandra asked.
