Bangalore: BJP Chief Gadkari Asks Yeddy to Call Off Oath-taking
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore
Bangalore, Jun 24: The alleged 'buying peace' bid by Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa with JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy at Dharmasthala has faced a roadblock with BJP preisdent Nitin Gadkari on Friday June 24 advising him to call off the oath-taking. Gadkari asked Yeddy not to mix religion with politics citing that it was not appropriate to use religious places, especially temples, for politics.
Gadkari was in the city to attend a programme. He also alleged that the charges made by Kumaraswamy that he had been approached by Yeddyurappa's emissary to arrive at a compromise and not release documents pertaining alleged irregularities by the CM was done out of frustration. POlitical issues need to be fought legally, he added.
It can be recalled here that the advise comes in the wake of religious leaders asking Yeddy to call off the 'truth test'. Following this Yeddyurappa too had issued a statement that he would arrive at a final decision on June 26.
Further, the face-off has invited wrath of various sections of the society and leaders.
