BJP MLAs SAY BSY’S SON IS FUNCTIONIN­G AS ‘SUPER CM’

- SHILPA P. | DC

The Congress on Wednesday said that a few BJP MLAs have written to the BJP high command levelling serious allegation­s against the Karnataka Chief Minister’s son.

KPCC spokespers­on M. Lakshman released copy of the letter to the media which is reportedly sent by seven BJP MLAs to their party high command. The letter alleges that B.S. Yeddyurapp­a’s son B.Y. Vijayendra is functionin­g as “Super CM”.

The BJP MLAs have reportedly accused him of indulging in corruption involving

`5,000 crore by raising

15 per cent commission or VST (Vijayendra Service Tax) to get government work done.

Lakshman did not reveal the names of those seven BJP MLAs. He, however, released a list of 31 people who are working as B.Y. Vijayendra’s team.

Addressing a press meet in Mysuru, Lakshman said that in that letter, the BJP MLAs have stated, “78year-old Yeddyurapp­a has only been a constituti­onal and “technical” Chief Minister. Taking the advantage of his old age, his son and BJP vice-president Vijayendra is functionin­g as ‘Super Chief Minister’. Vijayendra and his family members, their children, grand children and others are running a parallel, alternate 4G (fourth generation) state government like a private limited company in corporate style by forming a club of 31members. And they are getting government work done for commission.”

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah had termed Congress-led Siddaramai­ah government as 10 per cent government, but now Vijayendra is raising 15 per cent commission for getting government work of contractor­s, brokers, middlemen done. While the Chief Minister says that they are not getting expected GST share to state from the Central government to take up certain developmen­tal works, he has maintained silence on this VST (Vijayendra Service Tax),” he said.

THE CONGRESS released a copy of the letter reportedly written by BJP MLAs to BJP high command levelling serious allegation­s against Karnataka CM, his son.
