Bagalkot: 'Never seen so corrupt a government before' - Siddaramaiah


Daijiworld Media Network - Bagalkot (SP)

Bagalkot, Jul 14: "I have been in politics for the last four decades. But never in the history have I come across such a corrupt government. Chief minister B S Yediyurappa, his son and ministers are busy amassing money," said leader of the opposition in the assembly and Badami MLA Siddaramaiah.

Addressing the media persons at a private hostel in the outskirts of Badami town, he further said, "The government headed by B S Yediyurappa rose to power through Operation Lotus. The ministers have been collecting ten percent of the amount involved to release grants, issue no objection certificates etc. Grants are not being given for development projects. The chief minister’s son, Vijayendra, has been heaping the money with the help of JCB. I do not understand why the people still vote for the BJP," he lamented.

When the media persons raised the topic of releasing water to 125 km canal from Kabbalageri, he said that the government is facing dearth of funds and grants are not being given for any projects. He said that for transfers, the government is collecting a lot of money and for the transfer of sub-registrar, sub-inspector etc. A sum of Rs 60 lac by way of bribe is collected," he alleged.

Siddaramaiah said that when the coalition government was in office, action plans had been prepared for Kerur lift irrigation, 18 villages drinking water project, three star hotel for tourism development, parking plaza etc. "Because I am a former chief minister, they have released grants after two to three years," he informed. He noted that a sum of five lac rupees has been released for the Badami taluk Patrika Bhavan. He promised to release more grants in the coming days.

Responding to the demand not to shift Banashankari Hampi University, Siddaramaiah clarified to the media persons that he will verify the demand. He promised to visit Banashankari during his next visit to Badami. He said that three star hotel is needed here to promote tourism, and promised to make an effort to retain Hampi University.

    BJP has become a safe haven for rampant Corruption. Resort politics has given encouragement to all to indulge in Corruption. No Lokpal and CVC at the center and so no questions asked or accountablity for the central Govt. The CAG is a Defunct organisation. CBI is a caged parrot.

    Enough is Enough Sir. Move over both of you to make way for young dynamic new leader, if at all you want to revive your party. You own constituency Chamundeshwari has rejected and ousted you. The more your stick around, the more Congress heads to doomsday. Just thank God you have a safe constituency Badami to win on Muslim votes.

    Arrogant Siddu is a failed leader and now he's jealous of Dr Yeddy Operations Specialist of K'Nataka. Siddu has sunk the party from 122 MLA seats to 63, loose power in state, made MP seats from 9 to 1, also made CONgress loose 12 MLC seats. Today, he raises these subjects to remain in focus, that's all

    Ho Ho Is it so? Your leader is also honest in Delhi ...What honest duo you two ? Your leader stood in line to exchange Rs 2000 in Delhi wearing Torn Kurtha and flew to London next day..He used to fly every weekend to prime locations..How he is earning money ?? You also have no footwear ? Very poor? Why somebody gave you Mercedes Car and Costly watch when you were Cm? Out of love for you? Bhaagya Raja ..You too had slapped a volunteer like your competitor did a few days back ! You know who slaps people who work for them? It is the utmost corrupt who have no emotions. So before pointing fingers at others look at yourself. Pottu Huliya. People: Call out all Corrupt. About Time.
