Mangalore, Jan 29: “The BJP has been setting wrong precedent, and giving misleading signals through wrong policies at the state and national levels. Yeddyurappa has committed corruption of the level with which no former Chief Ministers had indulged in,” said former union minister and Congress leader, C M Ibrahim. He was speaking after inaugurating a programme organized by Gurpur Block Congress Committee at Kaikamba on Thursday January 27 for congratulating victorious zilla and taluk panchayat candidates from the party.

He called upon the party activists to concentrate on ensuring that the facilities being sanctioned by the government reach the needy.
