Handover documents of BSY's corruption to Justice Nagamohan Das committee: Siddaramaiah tells Yatnal
Bengaluru: Hours after BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal alleged former Karnataka CM Yediyurappa of misusing 40,000 crore rupees in the pandemic period during his tenure, CM Siddaramaiah taking to Twitter on Tuesday urged Yatnal to hand over documents pertaining to the allegation to Justice Nagamohan Das Committee, which was formed to probe 40% bribery allegations against the previous BJP government.
Siddaramaiah further asserted on his post that Yatnal’s allegations have corroborated their allegations of the previous BJP government being a 40% commission government.

“The group of BJP ministers who had come out howling at our accusation and held a press conference in Vidhana Soudha, where are they hiding now?” questioned Siddaramaiah.
“Yatnal should not make hit and run accusations. If he is committed to eradicating corruption, he should logically conclude his accusation. For this, he needs to submit all the information he has about the Corona corruption to the inquiry commission led by retired judge Nagamohan Das,” he wrote in his tweet.
He further added that BJP MLA Yatnal has been constantly accusing Yediyurappa, his son BY Vijayendra and some former cabinet ministers of corruption. He said that it is not surprising to see the state BJP leader’s being silent on the allegations.
“It's mysterious that the Prime Minister of the country, who often calls himself the "Chowkidar" and declares 'Na Khaunga, Na Khane Dunga', is silent about such corruption accusations against his own party leader. This silence raises questions whether the central leaders are also involved in the corruption of the state BJP government,” he added.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
