Bengaluru, Oct 6: Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa, who is facing corruption charges, has accused the chief minister Siddaramaiah-led state government of misusing the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to target those who speak against the ruling party.

Reacting to reports that the ACB was planning to raid the Income Tax department’s officials, Yeddyurappa said that the I-T sleuths need not worry as his party would bring the matter to the Centre’s notice. He described the ACB as “Siddaramaiah protection bureau”.

Siddaramaiah’s Cabinet colleagues, however, maintained that the ACB has not been misused.

Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy said that the Centre was misusing the I-T department, Enforcement Directorate and the CBI, and not the state government. He said that the government has never interfered in the ACB’s functioning.

Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister T B Jayachandra also said the ACB is functioning well within its jurisdiction.

Bengaluru, April 3: The ASHA worker, who was attacked by locals in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru while conducting a coronavirus survey, on Friday expressed satisfaction with police action in the matter.

"I am happy that five people have been arrested for attacking me while I was conducting a survey in view of COVID-19 in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru on April 1. We serve the people and work for the betterment of the society," Krishnaveni, the ASHA worker, told news agency here.

ASHA workers, who were deployed to spread awareness about coronavirus and identify suspected cases, were allegedly attacked by a group of locals in the area on Wednesday.

"We had been conducting surveys for the past 14 days ever since a positive coronavirus case was identified in the area. A person came and asked why we were gathering information. We informed him that a positive case was identified in the area," Krishnaveni said.

"They made an announcement from the mosque not to give any information to us. Afterwards, several people came out of their houses and started attacking us," she added.

Police initiated an investigation and have made arrests in the matter.

This comes as the country is under a 21-day lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, which has claimed the lives of at least 56 people and infected over 2,000 people.
