Davanagere, Sep 10: Honnali MLA and political secretary to chief minister B S Yediyurappa M P Renukacharya, termed former Karnataka Lokayukta, Justice Santosh Hegde, as a person with distorted mindset. "With ulterior motive, Justice Hegde heaped cases against Yediyurappa and made sure that he was imprisoned, "l he claimed.
He said that this enabled Congressmen to make fun of Yediyurappa by repeatedly pointing out that he had been jailed in the past. "The title, 'Dhwansraj' would be more appropriate for the then governor, Hans Raj Bhardwaj. Bhardwaj, based on a report prepared by Justice Hegde, granted permission for Yediyurappa's prosecution. Yediyurappa neither indulged in corruption nor looted the exchequer. He had to go behind the bars as a result of political conspiracy," he said.
