Siddaramaiah, Yeddyurappa’s phone calls are being tapped: R Ashok
Bengaluru, November 23: Telephones of former chief minister Siddaramaiah, opposition leader BS Yeddyurappa, some journalists and other leaders were being tapped, BJP leader R Ashok alleged.
Speaking to a television channel here on Friday, Ashok said that with a rumour that some Congress leaders might try to topple the coalition government, the government has been tapping the telephones. But the tapping of telephones of political leaders was not a new to the state. Then chief minister Ramakrishna Hegde had resigned from the CM post following telephone tapping allegation, he recalled.
The government should conduct proper investigation into the allegation of telephone tapping of some important leaders to know the truth. But the state government has been trying to cover up the issue, he alleged.
“I don’t know much about telephone tapping. But I would hear disturbance while speaking to phone. So, the government should conduct proper investigation”.
- Jagadish Shettar, Former Chief Minister
The Congress-JDS coalition government in the state is based on disbelief. So, it has been tapping the phones of major leaders including opposition leaders. This is not right. A probe should be conducted about it.
- CT Ravi, BJP Leader
