For Congressmen,who are taking out a Yatra against corruption,it is better to count the skeletons in their own cupboard,Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said.
Speaking to media persons Bommai said, Congressmen are taking out a Yatra against corruption as if their hands are clean,as if they are holy.
But the people are aware. It would not fetch any dividends.They are trying to set a narrative,but the people of Karnataka have seen them for many years.
People know the scams they perpetrated.We too will go to the people and expose the scams of Congress leaders.
Replying to a question as to why the sections related to Prevention of Corruption Act have not been invoked in the FIR against minister KS Eshwarappa in the Santosh suicide case, Bommai said,there is an allegation of abetment to suicide in the Santosh case.
The case is under investigation.The FSL report after the postmortem will shed light scientifically on what exactly happened.
No interference
Hitting back at Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, Bommai said,in the Ganapathi suicide case there was video and death note mentioning the name of the then minister George.
Did his name find a mention in the FIR?” The FIR was registered after orders from the Court.
Ganapathi’s family had to approach the court to get the FIR done.But we have filed an FIR based on the complaint and started an investigation.
Based on the findings of the probe further Sections would be invoked.Let the investigation proceed.Appropriate sections would be put up in accordance with law.We are not interfering in any way.”
There is law,investigation is on.Once the charge sheet is filed it would come up for scrutiny before the court.
We will take action according to the system we have.Based on the preliminary investigation decision would be taken on whether to go for a higher level probe,Bommai said.
