'A leader each from Congress, BJP behind sleaze CD scandal': MLA Yatnal


Bengaluru, Mar 11 (IANS): Karnataka BJP leader Basanagouda Patil Yatnal on Wednesday gave a new twist to the ongoing 'sleaze CD' row, stating that a leader each from the BJP and the Congress had joined hands to indulge in such practice.

Interacting with reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here, Yatnal said that there is a gang working under the two leaders who are in possession of 23 such CDs belonging to different parties.

"This is a fit case to be probed by the Central investigating agencies like the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI). Nobody should indulge in such blackmail tactics," he said.

Alleging that these two leaders are financing such seedy CD deals, Yatnal said, "I am neither a party to such kind of CDs, nor have I seen any of them. I am saying all this based on the information I gathered through the interactions I had with the legislators of all the parties," he said.

Yatnala's statement on sleaze CD assumes significance, as he is the first BJP leader who has spoken openly on the matter. In fact, he had revealed that a CD involving Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa was the reason behind two ministers gaining entry into the cabinet on January 14.

Karnataka Water Resource Minister Ramesh Jarakiholi was forced to resign last week after a CD was released to the news channels, allegedly showing him in a compromising position with a woman.

    Remembers me of one of Congress minister Yeti. Most of the politicians are of same nature. The opposition lost the chance of loot because of this single man in question. He deserves. Just think about the family how they face their rich friends circle.

    The Country is painfully aware of how the Central Agencies are being misused to target opposition Leaders and Parties. This is the Ugly face of Modi's Maan Ki Baat and his innocent pretensions behind TV cameras in his repeated addresses to the Nation.Central Government Tax and Enforcement Agencies like Income Tax Dept and Enforcement Directorate have rarely raided BJP Leaders over the last six years. It will be nice to know through the media if any BJP leader has been issued any IT or ED Notice during the last six years. ED or IT departments would have known that large sums of money were transacted for luring of MLAs at the time of toppling of non-BJP governments but have turned a blind eye. same manner, such Witchhunt by Central Agencies against political opponents must also stop.

    You and your party call yourself the protector / custodians of Indian culture and customs. Regardless who did the CD the question here is someone engaging in sex outside wedlock. Is this the culture /values you guys are upholding and protecting. Someone from your party said its a consensual act between two adults so it should not be any body else business. Well, I agree, then why goons affiliated to your party are chasing /attacking couples (adults) in cafes, cinemas and parks? Why your party people are giving seremons on Indian customs. First change the mindset of your own party members then come out and clean the rest.
