BSY is three-day CM: Ramalinga Reddy
Bengaluru, May 17: Saying that the BJP leaders could do anything for power, Former Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy said that BS Yeddyurappa is just a three-day Chief Minister as he would step-down after three days.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, Reddy said that when the BJP came to power in 2008, the BJP had forced the 17 MLA’s to resign and conducted by-elections with the help of Ballary mining czars. “I don’t know about the list of BJP MLA’s given to the Governor. Let us wait and see about the list they are going to submit to the Supreme Court tomorrow. Two MLA’s are not in our contact. But I am sure that they would not desert the Congress and they would join the party”, he said.
As the BJP leaders have their own government at the centre, they have been misusing those who are the heads of the Constitutional institutions for their needs. In 2008, Yeddyurappa had become the chief minister with the promise of waiving of the loans of the farmers. But when VS Ugrappa urged Yeddyurappa in the Legislative Council to waive of the loans, Yeddyurappa had said that ‘he does not have the machine to print the currency’, he said.
It is sure that Yeddyurappa would step down from the position in the next three days. Because of this reason, he has announced to waive of the farmers loans. But in reality, it was the Congress government which has waived off the farmers loans up to Rs 50,000 availed from cooperative societies. In spite of repeated appeals of Chief Minister to the Central government including the Prime Minister, no action was taken. Both Yeddyurappa and Jagadeesh Shettar did not speak a single word before the Prime Minister on this issue, he alleged.
Like BJP people, the Congress is not purchasing the MLA’s. The Congress-JDS ally has 117 numbers to form the government. They would not resort to such a dirty politics like BJP, Reddy said.
