Yeddurappa seen from left second, who raised from the ranks of RSS to be CM of South Indian's important state Karnataka, bringing BJP for the first time in power in a southern state of India the only state of BJP rule in South India. His training in RSS which RSS always boasts for high in principles and values and nationalism has failed him, even on Integrity. Yedurappa is arrested on charges of corruption and misuse of authority, so much for RSS Values. Anti Corruption yatra of Advani ji moving city to city and town to town preaching of values and Anti Corruption, to cleanse in Govt of UPA just missed it all by forgetting his own responsibility as a Nation Party Senior Leader toward nation. Targeting opponents in politics alone forgetting BJP's own grown corrupt political governments, I doubt if Advani will be comfortable speaking and give lesson on anti corruption in his Jan Chetana Yatra. How can one preach what he does not practice. God Help the Nation of hyperacts in politics.
Bangalore: Former Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on Saturday surrendered in front of a sessions court judge after the Lokayukta court rejected his bail plea and issued arrest warrant against him.
Following his surrender, Yeddyurappa was remanded to judicial custody till October 22 and sent to the Bangalore Central Jail.
The Lokaykta police earlier went to his residence to drop the warrant, but were unable to meet the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader.
The developments came after the Lokayukta Court rejected Yeddyurappa’s bail plea and issued arrest warrant against him in connection with cases regarding alleged irregularities in denotification of government lands.
The court also denied bail to Yeddyurappa’s former ministerial colleague SN Krisnaiah Setty. However it granted bail to his sons and his son-in-law.
The Karnataka BJP issued a statement on Saturday saying that Yeddyurappa would move higher court against the Lokayukta court warrant.
The Lokayukta Court asked the police to produce Yeddyurappa before the court on Tuesday.
Yeddyurappa can seek bail on Tuesday or he can challenge it before the high court.
Reacting to the development, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that it showed the double standard of the BJP.
“A bail is denied only when court finds some case against a person. This is the CM who was reluctant to leave office and when he left, made a lot of noise,” said Singhvi.
JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy had exposed the scam and advocate Sirajin Basha is the main complainant.
BJP MLA Hemachandra Sagar was also granted bail in the case.
Earlier the Karnataka High Court had also rejected his bail plea.
