BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje terms the Yeddiyurappa diary released by Congress as 'Fake'
Udupi: Rubbishing the claims made by Congress in Delhi after releasing Yeddiyurappa’s diary, Udupi-Chikmagalur MP Shobha Karandlaje criticized Congress of stooping low while also terming the diary as fake.
“They have released the diary after writing notes on it by children. People will respond to these allegations during election. It is not right to play gimmick when the elections are approaching. Targeting an individual woman for electoral gains is not right too. They should know how to talk about a woman” Shobha said.
“There are women in Congress too. People respect them. I am a woman too and I am a fighter I live not let Congress silence my voice with personal attack” she added.
Earlier in the day Congress had alleged that BS Yeddiyurappa had paid Rs. 1800 crore to BJP senior leaders including Jaitley and Rajnath Singh when he was the CM of Karnataka.

Siddaramaiah holds dharna protesting Centre's 'injustice' in release of drought relief to Karnataka
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his deputy D K Shivakumar along with several ministers and legislators on Sunday staged a dharna here, alleging injustice done to the state by the union government while releasing the drought relief funds.
Holding 'Chombu', the round water pot symbolising emptiness and deception, the leaders charged the Centre with "cheating" Karnataka by not releasing adequate relief to face acute drought, the kind of which was not witnessed in the past several decades.
They held the symbolic dharna in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue on the premises of "Vidhana Soudha", which houses the Legislature and Secretariat.
The state government has declared 226 out of the total 236 Taluks in Karnataka as drought-hit and said there was a crop loss in 48 lakh hectares of land.
According to Siddaramaiah, against the demand for Rs 18,171 crore for drought relief, the union government ordered release of only Rs 3,454 crore, that too after the state approached the Supreme Court.
The amount was not even a quarter of the state's demand, he noted.
