Bengaluru, Apr 7: The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) on Saturday clarified that a so called Intelligence report that is doing rounds on social media, stating that Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency not safe for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, was a fake report.

The Intelligence DIG has been asked to conduct a probe into the fake report, the CMO stated in a press release.

"The Intelligence department has not given any such report. The report is false and fabricated. The ADGP post in the Intelligence department is lying vacant. Moreover, the Intelligence reports are usually in Kannada, not English," the CMO explained.

HDK endorses report

Meanwhile, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy has endorsed the alleged intelligent report. "The Intelligence report has cautioned Siddaramaiah against contesting from Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency. It says that the JD(S) leaders, including the sitting MLA from the party G T Devegowda, are mobilising Vokkaliga votes and that contesting from Chamundeshwari is not a viable option for CM," Kumaraswamy said

"The report also recommended the CM alternative options. It suggested that Varuna (Mysuru), Basavakalyan (Bidar), Gangavati (Koppal) and Shantinagar (Bengaluru) constituencies are safe for the chief minister," the JD(S) leader said.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday admitted in the legislative assembly that corruption was deep-rooted in government offices and held transfer racket as the root cause of the graft menace.

“Unless we root it out from the system, we can never uphold the spirit of the Constitution and ensure equitable justice to people. If legislators lend support (to this cause), then we can weed out this menace,” Yediyurappa said during a special discussion on the Constitution.

Successive governments have been accused by opposition parties of running a transfer racket, but there’s very little done to institute a probe or order a crackdown following the allegations.

The chief minister’s candid admission came after senior Congress MLA HK Patil, quoting a report from Amnesty International, said 63% of people in Karnataka give bribe to get their work done in government offices. The CM said he agreed with the report in toto.
