BANGALORE, JAN 20
Facing fresh barbs from Karnataka Governor H R Bhardwaj, an angry B S Yeddyurappa today accused him of making biased statements that “lowered” the dignity of the CM, the Cabinet and the voters as the confrontation between them intensified.
Yeddyurappa’s sharp response came after Bhardwaj, ignoring a Cabinet appeal, said he would decide in two days on the plea for permission to prosecute him over alleged land scams and made acerbic comments about the Cabinet resolution.
Yeddyurappa may meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Delhi early next week seeking the Governor’s recall.
“Everything is known to the media. What do I have to do with this? It is people’s lands that have been taken. It is like Ulta Chor Kotwal ko dante (thief chiding the police),” Bhardwaj said.
