Bengaluru Mar 7: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who has been accused of facilitating special favours to jailed AIADMK leader V K Sasikala, on Wednesday claimed that he had not asked the prison authorities to provide any "VVIP" treatment to the Tamil Nadu politico.

A day after retired Director General of Police (Prisons) H N Sathyanarayana Rao revealed that Sasikala was provided with a cot, mattress and pillow on instructions of Siddaramaiah, the latter told the media he told the prison authorities to take measures as per prison laws.

"A delegation from Tamil Nadu met me and said that Sasikala has not been provided with a mat and pillow. So I told him (Rao) to provide her with facilities as per prison rules. I have not asked (the officer) to extend VVIP treatment to her. I told Sathyanarayana to merely follow prison rules."

Siddaramaiah was speaking to reporters at his official residence Krishna.

Rao had made this revelation to an inquiry officer who was probing charges of the officer having accepted Rs 2 crore bribe for extending special treatment to Sasikala.

He said that Sasikala was being treated like any other prisoner, until he was summoned by Siddaramaiah and directed to provide her with the above facilities.

It is so funny, nobody is responsible in our country for anything. Oral instructions are given by the political masters which are duly carried out by the govt. officials knowing pretty well that they are not as per rules. Since there will be no proof for such instructions , if any thing untoward happens, these officials get caught and the politicians easily escape.

Sulla Goonda CM. Nachike Agbeku ninna Janmakke Chi Chi Thoo Thoo...

Paisa chayiye for election.. O mila and VVIP treatment diya.. Problem kya he???

Undoubtedly, The 2-crore bribe Sasikala paid for comforts in jail was straight Seeda Rupaiah to the gang of Sidramya !
