Bengaluru, May 24: KPCC Legal Cell has lodged a complaint against six persons of the BJP including party state president BS Yeddyurappa and MLA B Sriramulu for inducing the MLAs to support the BJP during the floor test in the Assembly.

On Thursday, KPCC Legal Cell general secretary Surya Mukund Raj who visited the ACP head office on Race Course Road in the city, lodged the written complaint against Yeddyurappa,  Sriramulu, MLC BJ Puttaswamy, Yeddyurappa’s son Vijayendra, Janardhana Reddy and BJP incharge Muralidhar Rao alleging that they have induced the Congress MLAs during the floor test. Yeddyurappa has taken oath as the Chief Minister on May 17. But as the BJP has no sufficient number of MLAs to prove the majority, the BJP leaders have tried to ‘purchase’ the MLAs by luring them. The KPCC Legal Cell has all documents related to the discussion of BJP leaders with the Congress MLAs. So, the ACB should take this issue seriously and take action against them, he demanded.

The BJP has lured the MLAs of money and power to support it during floor test. The Congress has the voice records of the leaders who spoke to its MLAs. The ACB should consider this charge seriously and register FIR against them under Anti-Corruption Act 1998 and investigate the issue, he demanded.

Lucknow (PTI): Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday raised questions over maintenance of the Taj Mahal in Agra and attacked the Yogi Adityanath government saying it should be a "living and active" example, not just a "monument".

Yadav, who shared a viral video in which a plant could be seen sprouting from the dome of the Taj Mahal, said the monument might develop cracks due to the roots.

In a post on X, he said, "The BJP government and its dormant departments have completely failed to maintain the Taj Mahal, the wonder that attracts tourists from all over the world."

Yadav went on to say, "There is a possibility of rusting of the metal of the urn on the main dome. Water is dripping from the main dome. There is news of plants growing in the dome. If the roots of trees like these grow, then the Taj Mahal may crack."

He also highlighted problems of monkey menace and water logging in the Taj Mahal complex.

"The Taj Mahal complex has become a sanctuary for monkeys. There is a problem of waterlogging in the Taj Mahal complex. The tourists are worried whether they should admire the Taj Mahal or deal with the problems," Yadav said, adding due to all these reasons, the country's image is tarnished at the global level. ⁠

Last week, the main dome of the Taj witnessed water seepage due to incessant rains but officials said there was no damage to the arched roof.

Yadav asked where crores of rupees of funds that come for the maintenance of Taj Mahal are going.

"The government should be a living and active example, not just a monument," he added.
