BJP law panel to decide BSY fate
New Delhi, Nov. 22: The supporters of the Karnataka Chief Minister, Mr B.S. Yeddyurappa, who made clear that if he stepped down, the BJP government would fall, laying it open for President’s Rule and a backdoor entry for his arch rival, the JD(S).
Speaking to reporters when he landed in the capital, the CM said “Nobody has asked me to resign.” He had hitched a ride to Delhi aboard the PM’s special plane from Puttaparthi, where both he and Dr Manmohan Singh had participated in Satya Sai Baba’s birthday celebrations.
Following hours of hard bargaining in Delhi, the final deal between Mr Yeddyurappa and the party central leaders saw the CM offer to subject himself to a probe by legal luminaries nominated by the party. “If the team finds Mr Yeddyurappa ‘guilty’ of misdeeds, he will be given his marching orders,” a senior BJP leader revealed.
Sources said that three former judges who are associated with the BJP would be drafted by the party to probe the alleged scams. The panel will go through the assets and liabilities of family members of Mr Yeddyurappa besides examining the veracity of documents produced by opposition parties vis-a-vis the nepotism, favouritism and illegal gratification of the CM.
