Summary:
MYSURU: Former chief minister and president of the BJP Karnataka unit BS Yeddyurappa on Thursday declined to comment on the party’s attempt to form the government in Karnataka. Dubbing his continuity as a minister a ‘shame’, Yeddyurappa said, “Bribe allegedly meant to be delivered to Shetty was seized by cops, but he continues to stay in the cabinet. If the allegations against him are proven false, the CM can re-induct him to the cabinet.”Expressing disappointment with the state government’s response to drought in the state, Yeddyurappa said, “No new schemes have been announced to provide relief to people in drought-affected regions across the state. He must resign. During the political drama that unfolded for more than a week, the 104 BJP MLAs, and a handful of Congress legislators had stayed at resorts in different states as the saffron party tried to gather the numbers for a simple majority in the assembly..
