Karnataka: Senior BJP leader Yatnal says “loafers” from his own party are creating CD scams
Lauds Siddaramaiah as "good politician"
Bengaluru: Senior BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal on Friday said “loafers” in his party were involved in making CDs, referring to the CD scandals that recently shocked Karnataka’s political circles.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Friday, he said the politics in Karnataka has become dirty and it was unfortunate that parties were encouraging leaders with backgrounds in mining, real estate, and caste-based politics.
“The culture of making CDs has emerged in Karnataka’s politics. It is not just limited to Congress, but loafers of BJP are also involved in this. A team is based in Bengaluru only to do such unethical jobs for politicians,” he said.
“Karnataka has also seen sophisticated politics. SM Krishna, KS Nijalingappa, and Siddaramaiah are very good politicians. But due to the actions of a few, the politics here has become dirty. The blackmail politics has now emerged here,” he added.
“Like former minister Ramesh Jarakiholi said, there is a single team behind the CD scam and contractor Santosh Patil’s suicide. Only one person is leading it. His name should be revealed,” he further added.

11 more bodies retrieved from Arunachal accident site
Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
