'Operation Lotus’ to start from Ballari: KS Eshwarappa
Ballari, June 16: Hinting at ‘Operation Lotus’, BJP leader KS Eshwarappa said that “there is dissatisfaction in the Congress-JDS coalition government. So, ‘Operation Lotus’ will start from Ballari”.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, Eshwarappa said that Congress MLAs were not happy in the government and they were expressing their dissatisfaction openly. It was not fair to neglect the original Congress leaders, he said.
The Chief Minister himself has indulged in looting. He was unable to give a good governance. But he was passing the buck on BJP, he said.
As some senior politicians have involved in the issue of granting land to Jindal Company of Ballari, some Congress leaders have opposed it. BJP was ready to protect the public property. Where is Siddaramaiah who took Padayatre to Ballari, now, he asked.
Granting of land to Jindal company and IMA scam should be handed over to the CBI probe. Both Siddaramaiah and Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy should break their silence over the issue and withdraw the decision to grant the land to the company, he demanded.
