Complaint filed in ACB against Yeddyurappa
Bengaluru, Feb 11: A complaint was lodged against BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa in ACB seeking legal action against him in related to "Operation Lotus" audio clip issue.
JDS leader Siddaraju lodged the complaint, alleging that luring an elected representative with money is a form of corruption and legal action should be taken against Yeddyurappa.
Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy had released an audio clip said to be the offer of money to the MLAs as part of BJP's 'operation lotus'. Later, Yeddyurappa admitted that it was his voice, but the audio clip was fabricated. So, investigation should be conducted based on his statement, Siddaraju said.
