Mangalore, July 23: “Once there was a Ripper Chandran who killed people ruthlessly, then there was a Veerappan who looted the jungles and now there is Yeddyurappan, the Chief Minister of our state,” said Bantwal MLA and DK district Congress President B Ramanath Rai.

He was addressing a demonstration organised by the Dakshina Kannada district Congress Committee in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner here on Saturday morning to protest the phone tapping of Justice N Santosh Hegde and the leakage of Lokayukta report.

Mr Rai, who held Yeddyurappa led State Government responsible for leakage, demanded that phone tapping incident should be handed over to the CBI for a thorough investigation. He alleged that this was one of the foul tactics of the ruling party to pressurise on the Lokayukta

Criticising the State Government's 'negative approach' towards the Lokayukta, he said the tears on the eyes of Justice Hegde reveal the height of anarchy in the state.

He said that those ministers of UPA government, who had involved in scams were behind the bars, whereas the BJP led Karnataka state government was full of corrupt ministers such as Halappa, Renukacharya and Reddy brothers.

Chief Whip of the Opposition in the State Legislative Assembly and Mulki-Moodbidri MLA Abhayachandra Jain lamented that it is a big shame to have a corrupt man like Yeddyurappa as the Chief Minister of our state. “The illegal activities of the State government have caused great shame to the people of Karnataka,” he added.

Former MLA Vijayakumar Shetty, comparing the BJP led state Government to the Hitler's rule in Germany, questioned the silence of RSS over the unabated corruption of its political arm.

Local leaders of Congress party Ivan D'souza, Mamatha Gatti and members of DK district Congress Committee and Youth congress were among the protesters.
