Bagalkot, Jan 27: Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) founder Padmanabha Prasanna Kumar, who claims to have the video of the ‘secret marriage’ between BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje and BJP Karnataka president B S Yeddyurappa, says he is facing threat to life from Shobha Karandlaje.
Addressing media persons in Bagalkot on Saturday, Padmanabha Prasanna Kumar said that Shobha Karandlaje and Yeddyurappa got married at Bhagavati Temple in Kerala. “If chief minister Siddaramaiah provides me the security, I will release the CD,” he said and added that he has been warned dire consequences by Karandlaje.
“In spite of submitting written requests to Siddaramaiah and the then home minister G Parameshwara for police protection, I have not received any security. I have lodged a complaint against Shobha Karandlaje at Vidhana Soudha police station alleging threat to my life from her, “said Padmanabha.
He further went on to accuse Shobha for misleading Yeddyurappa and said she made him leave KJP and will destroy his political career.
If Yeddyurappa had stayed with KJP, the party would have come to power, he claimed.
With regard to the upcoming assembly polls, KJP will field candidates in all 224 constituencies. “I will contest from Shikaripur and Teradal constituencies,” revealed Padmanabha.
