Mandya (Karnataka) [India], August 6: Reacting to the death of a Yadgir police sub-inspector, Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra launched a strong attack against the Karnataka government led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Vijayendra accused the state government of corruption and claimed that the Congress party has betrayed the Dalit community.
Vijayendra stated, “CM Siddaramaiah led Congress government has been indulged in corruption. The CM is involved in the MUDA scam… The Congress leaders and the Congress party have cheated the Dalit community…The Home Minister should resign, and the CM should take moral responsibility and resign.”
During the ‘Mysuru chalo’ padayatra, BJP leader Dr. CN Ashwath Narayan also called the Chief Minister “corrupt” and said that people wanted him to quit. Narayan mentioned, “We are getting a very good response…people want this corrupt CM to quit…people want accountability for the corruption he has done in the state…we organized ‘Mysuru chalo’ padayatra to sensitize Congress that they can’t get away with corruption…if Congress has got any respect for Constitution and democracy, they should get the resignation of their CM.”
Earlier on Monday, Union MoS Shobha Karandlaje wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging for a CBI investigation into the death of the police sub-inspector of Yadgiri in Karnataka. The deceased police sub-inspector has been identified as Parashuram, who was serving at Yadgiri Police Station, Karnataka.
According to the letter, Parashuram faced undue harassment and was relentlessly tortured and traumatized allegedly by the local Congress MLA, Chenna Reddy Patil Thunnur, and his son, Sunny Gowda alias Pampanagouda, which ultimately led to his unfortunate death. It is also alleged that they demanded a bribe of Rs 30 lakhs to allow him to continue in his current posting. Despite multiple complaints by the wife of the deceased sub-inspector, the Superintendent of Police delayed registering the FIR.
