Hassan, Aug 11: Rubbishing the rumours about Janata Dal-Secular MLAs accepting Bharatiya Janata Party’s offer in the state as baseless, Public Works Minister H D Revanna has claimed that around 20 BJP MLAs are ready to leave the party to join the JD(S).

Speaking to media persons here yesterday he said: “Nobody from JD-S will join the BJP. I too have heard about efforts from the BJP to woo MLAs. But they will not succeed. In fact, more than 20 MLAs are in touch with us, but we have told them to remain with the BJP,” he said.

Reacting to BJP State president B.S. Yeddyurappa’s statement that Mr. Revanna was “super CM”, he said he had no wish to react to such statements. “Those with no work tweet such comments. I would not wish to react to them. Let the BJP leaders convince the Centreand waive farm loans totally,” he said.

Bengaluru, Jul 3: Opposition leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday opined that there is no other option left but to resort to 'Jail Bharo' agitation to expose the ruling BJP government's indulge in 'Corona Corruption' which runs into more than Rs 2000 crore.

Siddaramaiah said that according to a submission to the Karnataka High Court the government has submitted that it has incurred Rs 3,392 crore expenditure for Corona in the State so far. While the market price for equipment purchased will not exceed Rs 1163 crore and it clearly shows that the corruption is to the tune of Rs 2,000 crore.

Siddaramaiah speaking to a private TV channel here on Friday said the chief minister B S Yediyurappa-led State government should come out with a White Paper on the money spent for purchases made facilities provided to patients. 

According to submission to the Court, the Government has purchased 1000 Ventilators by paying Rs 120 crore, while the market price is Rs 40 crores at Rs 4 lakh for each Ventilator. Why is Rs 120 crore more paid, does it not lead to doubt the government's claim. For purchase of kits, mask, gloves etc. it amounted to Rs 1,500 crores but paid by the government was Rs 9,000 crore."

Gokak, Jul 25: A JMFC magistrate here issued summons to the Chief minister B S Yediyurappa in relation to a complaint for the alleged violation of election code of conduct, during by-elections to the Gokak Assembly seat held last year.

According to official sources, a complaint had been registered against Chief minister B S Yediyurappa during the election campaign, under the People Representative Act, for allegedly wooing voters during electioneering.

The Gokak Police, who had investigated the case, however had submitted a 'B' report to the court letting off the Chief minister from the charges.

However the Magistrate, rejecting the Police report, had maintained that there exists prima facie case against the accused and issued summons to appear before the court on September one, the sources added.
