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.

Bantwal, Apr 24: Madhava Prabhu, an 85-year-old resident of Wagga in Bantwal, exemplified unwavering commitment to his civic duty even in the face of illness.

Admitted to a private hospital here owing to his ailment, Prabhu, a former army officer and inspector of Malaria Eradication department, died without responding to treatment on Wednesday.

Amidst his illness, Prabhu was determined to exercise his right to vote, especially with the provision for home voting for those aged 85 and above.

With the doctor's permission, he left the hospital briefly to fulfil his sacred duty on Tuesday. However, fate had a cruel twist in store as Prabhu's condition worsened upon his return to the hospital.

His commitment to duty and his final act of voting serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of civic engagement, even in the most challenging circumstances.
