Speaking to reporters, Poojary said that the ‘damocles sword’ still hangs on Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and suggested him not to ignore the advisory of the Centre.
Poojary said Yeddyurappa was jittery over the Centre’s directions and warned the chief minister that the Centre had powers to dismiss the government.
PM’s post
Commenting on statements of BJP leader Sushma Swaraj that she was not responsible for the Reddy brothers’ political clout, he said the BJP leaders at the Centre were competing for the post of Prime Minister in future.
“Sushma does not want her name to be associated with the Reddy brothers, so that she can claim to be free from corruption,” he said.
Poojary also questioned Anna Hazare, campaigning against corruption in the City, as to why he was not commenting on corruption in Karnataka.
Poojary said not a single statement had been issued by the Gandhian regarding the corruption in the State.
State’s crisis
“Didn’t the Lokayukta Santosh Hegde or Shanti Bhushan brief him about the situation in the State?,” asked the Congress leader.
He asked Hazare to speak about this before he leaves Bangalore.
