Bengaluru: After the Congress party leveled charges of corruption against the kin of Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa, Twitter users on Wednesday sought the resignation of the Chief Minister. Congress also led a campaign on the micro-blogging site with hashtag #BSY_Must_Resign.

The campaign soon caught pace and grossed nearly 10,000 tweets in a short period of time. The hashtag was also among the top three trending hashtags in Karnataka.

Earlier, in a press release, the Congress party had alleged that the son-in-law and son of Yediyurappa were “caught red-handed” asking for bribing in a project of construction of apartments by Bangalore Development Authority (BDA). It had added that the revelation had “bewildered, shocked and appalled everyone”.

KPCC President DK Shivakumar in a tweet “CM Yediyurappa & his family have been caught taking a bribe in an alleged ₹666 crore BDA construction project scam.” He also called for a probe by a sitting SC Judge or by the CJ of Karnataka HC.

The official handle of the Indian National Congress added that the democratic functioning of the Karnataka government is under a serious threat.

“Karnataka is fast becoming a combination of the two under the Yeddyurappa Govt,” AICC General Secretary Randeep Surjewala wrote on Twitter.

In the campaign, Congress leaders also noted that there were call recordings and WhatsApp chats clearly showing that CM, his son, grandson, and son-in-law were actively involved in corruption and bribery in the project. It was also alleged that the bribe was transferred via 7 shell companies in the bank.

Adding that Karnataka had turned into a ‘Gunda Raj’ users also said that it was “Vijayendra Service Tax” that the CM and his family were collecting for working in Karnataka. The hashtag #VijayendraServiceTax was also among those trending in the state.

Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI): As many as 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including many children, were apprehended from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on Friday for alleged illegal stay in India, officials said.

They were taken into custody from local brickyards at Khajpur village under the Naujheel police station limits, a senior officer said.

"Regular searches were being conducted throughout the district. During one such operation, police were searching some local brickyards when they came across Bangladeshi nationals working there," SSP Shlok Kumar said.

Giving a break-up, the officer said in all, 35 men, 27 women and 28 children have been taken into custody.

"During interrogation, all of them admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in India. They moved to Mathura three to four months back from a neighbouring state. Police are trying to establish their links," the SSP said, adding that their job contractor and other associates are also being questioned.

The officer told PTI that police also recovered some Aadhaar cards from the Bangladeshi nationals, apparently issued on forged documents in some other state.

Further legal proceedings are underway, Kumar said.
