BJP govt making investigation agencies defunct: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday alleged that investigation agencies in the state have become inactive during BJP rule and were not acting on complaints of corruption against several ministers.
The BJP, he charged, wanted to make these agencies, including the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), defunct.
"Despite many corruption complaints against several ministers of the state government, investigation agencies are not taking action.
The ACB during the rule of Karnataka BJP has become inactive," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
He said the BJP, which had earlier objected to the formation of the ACB when it was in the opposition, was now tryng to make it defunct when it is in power.
The Congress leader, however, did not specify which cases he was referring to.

Injured Phil Salt returns home for scans
New Delhi (PTI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener Phil Salt has returned to England for scans on a finger injury sustained last month.
The injury has kept Salt out of RCB's last three matches, with compatriot Jacob Bethell stepping in at the top of the order.
The 29-year-old is reported to have "damaged a finger on his left hand" while diving to save a boundary at deep backward square leg during RCB's defeat to Delhi Capitals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18.
"Salt, who is centrally contracted by the ECB, has since returned home at the request of England's management and has undergone scans on his finger," ESPNCricinfo reported.
According to the report, both RCB and Salt are hopeful of a speedy recovery and the opener can return to India later this month.
Salt had enjoyed a strong start to the season, amassing 202 runs in six innings at an impressive strike rate of 168.33.
RCB are currently second on the points table behind Punjab Kings. They take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday next.
