Alleging corruption in the BJP-led Karnataka government after a sting operation by a Kannada TV channel, the Congress has demanded the resignation of Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa. BJP's Karnataka state unit has denied these allegations.
The allegations of corruption refer to demands for bribe allegedly by Mr Yediyurappa's son, son-in-law and grandson in a flat construction project by city's development agency BDA. According to the Congress, there are WhatsApp chats that are evidence of bribe allegedly being sought from the contractor and of the bribe given in cash and through direct transfers in bank accounts.
Chief Minister Yediyurappa and his family have been caught taking a bribe in the alleged Rs 666-crore BDA construction project scam. We demand a time-bound probe by a sitting Supreme Court judge or by the Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court... Chief Minister Yediyurappa must resign or should be sacked by the BJP to ensure fairness in the investigation," former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said in a series of tweets.NDTV
