Mangalore Today News Network

Mangaluru, Nov 12, 2017: State BJP President B S Yeddyurappa has  claimed that there were 30 cases against Siddaramaiah and that the ACB has not filed an FIR in even one case. The truth will stand exposed if all  the cases are handed over to the CBI, he said.

Speaking to reporters here Yeddyurappa also alleged that the district was facing a sand shortage as the Congress leaders were part of the  sand mafia. "The drugs menace is also rampant. Though the government ought to control  the mafia, it seems as if the mafia itself was controlling the government," said Yeddyurappa.

He demanded that  AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal be dropped from his post of in-charge of Congress in Karnataka as he is facing rape charges.

Alleging that the State was hit hard due to the government which was hit by a number of scams, Yeddyurappa said  the ACB has only  been giving clean chit to the accused. There was also a breakdown of law and order situation in the state, Yeddyurappa said and dubbed the Chief Minister as irresponsible.

He also claimed that the Parivartana  Yatra was  successful in Dakshina Kannada district.

MPs Nalin Kumar Kateel, Shobha Karandlaje and several party leaders were present.
