Appoint untainted person as BJP’s CM candidate: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently challenged BJP's national leadership and Prime Minister Modi to appoint "an untainted person" as the BJP's chief ministerial candidate.
"I am glad PM @narendramodi is talking about corruption. I now invite him to #WalktheTalk . For a start can you 1. Appoint Lok Pal 2. Investigate #JudgeLoya 's death 3. Investigate the astronomical rise of #Jayshah 4. Appoint an untainted person as your CM candidate?," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
Dear Mr. #10PercentCM @siddaramaiah, I am equally glad that you have started this discussion. Before we head up North to Delhi, why don't you answer a few questions here: Why did you quash all the powers of #Lokayukta and make it a toothless body? #Dare2Answer," B.S. Yeddyurappa tweeted.
Yeddyurappa also raised Dy SP M K Ganapathy suicide case. Ganapathy had allegedly committed suicide last year accusing the then Home Minister George and two other senior IPS officers of harassing him. The state CID had given a clean chit to George and the two officials. But, the Supreme Court later ordered a CBI probe, following which a case was registered against George and the two IPS officers.
"Let me remind you of your 70 Lakh Hublot watch, which is believed to have been accepted as an official favor from a Biz-man in exchange for you approving projects violating all rules" Yeddyurappa tweeted.

FIR against 2 women corporators of Congress in Indore over refusal to sing 'Vande Mataram'
Indore (PTI): Police registered a case against two women corporators of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh's Indore on Wednesday on the charge of disturbing communal harmony for their refusal to sing the national song 'Vande Mataram', an official said.
During the Indore Municipal Corporation's budget session on April 8, Congress corporator Fauzia Sheikh Alim refused to sing 'Vande Mataram' citing Islamic beliefs.
Another corporator, Rubina Iqbal Khan, who joined the Congress after winning the civic election as an independent candidate, also supported Fauzia's stance and refused to sing the national song.
Talking to PTI, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Amarendra Singh said following a probe into a complaint, a case has been registered against Fauzia and Rubina at the M G Road police station under section 196 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) (acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony between different communities).
The police summoned both the corporators for questioning over the past two days and recorded their statements, he said.
"Finally, finding the case prima facie cognisable, we have registered an FIR and initiated a detailed investigation," Singh said.
