Congress alleges Yeddiyurappa paid Rs. 1800 crores to senior BJP leaders when he was CM
New Delhi: Referring to a report published by ‘The Caravan’ Congress spokes person Randeep Sujrevala on Friday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking why he didn’t investigate BS Yediyurappa, who he added had given Rs 1800 crores to senior BJP leaders when he was the CM of Karnataka.
"We have caught a theft and the thief. BJP leaders have been caught in a corruption case." Sujrewala said while reading the contents of the diary which holds details of a transaction between BS Yeddyurappa and BJP leaders.
"From this diary, five facts come out. Close to Rs 2690 crore was sought and 1800 crore was given to BJP. Yedyurappa was the CM during the period. There are his signatures on each page. This was given to BJP's central team," Surjewala said.
"The committee has big names such as Modi and others. Judges and lawyers have been given Rs 250 crore to Rs 50 crore. The diary has been with the income tax dept since Aug 2017 according to the report by The Caravan."
Hitting at the Modi government Surjewala says,"If there is no truth to this diary then why did the BJP not get an inquiry done on this. If this true then is this not a first-hand report of BJP's corruption? Why is there no independent inquiry of this? Now there is also Lokpal and other independent bodies in place. Chor chowkidaar is answerable for this."
The Caravan report says "Yeddyurappa recorded these alleged payouts in a Karnataka state assembly legislator's 2009 diary, in Kannada, in his own hand.... The copies of the diary pages note that Yeddyurappa paid the BJP Central Committee Rs 1,000 crore; that he paid the finance minister Arun Jaitley and the transport minister Nitin Gadkari Rs 150 crore each; that he gave the home minister Rajnath Singh Rs 100 crore; and that he paid the BJP stalwart LK Advani and the senior party leader Murli Manohar Joshi Rs 50 crore each. Besides this, the entry notes, Yeddyurappa paid Rs 10 crore for 'Gadkari's son's marriage'."

Iran’s Fars reports missiles hit US warship near Hormuz after it ignored warnings from IRGC
Tehran/Washington: Iran’s Fars News Agency has reported that two missiles struck a US Navy vessel near Jask in the Strait of Hormuz, citing local sources.
According to the report, the vessel was hit after it allegedly ignored warnings from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to halt.
There has been no official confirmation from US authorities on the reported incident so far.
The development comes shortly after US President Donald Trump said Washington would begin “Project Freedom” to guide stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said the operation would involve 15,000 military personnel along with more than 100 land- and sea-based aircraft, warships and drones.
Further details about the reported strike and any damage or casualties remain unclear.
