The audio tape of Yeddyurappa’s alleged attempts to buy over JD(S) MLAs has left the BJP red faced and party legislators fidgety.
A probe launched by the Karnataka government into an audio tape of BJP leader and former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa allegedly attempting to lure Janata Dal (Secular) MLAs with money has become an embarrassment for the party.
The tape allegedly also implicates legislative assembly speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar as part of the conspiracy to bring down the JD(S)-Congress government. Kumar strongly denied the allegations on February 8, the day the tape was released by chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy. “I am extremely pained to hear this allegation, considering the image I have maintained in public life. I request the government to order a thorough probe and submit the report in 15 days,” Kumar said in the assembly three days later. Kumaraswamy wasted no time in ordering the probe by a special investigation team (SIT).
