Eshwarappa's 'shoot the traitor' remark has been twisted: Yediyurappa

Bengaluru: Senior BJP leader B S Yediyurappa on Saturday appeared before the Karnataka Lokayukta in connection with the alleged illegal land denotification case.

“The police wing of the Lokayukta had served a notice to Yediyurappa and accordingly, he appeared before the investigation officer. The summons were related to the land denotification,” a source in the Lokayukta told PTI.

In a press conference on Thursday, ministers Krishna Byre Gowda, Dinesh Gundu Rao and Santhosh released documents regarding the denotification of 1.11 acres of land at Gangenahalli in Kasaba Hobli of Bengaluru North.

This land was acquired by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to form a layout in 1976, and its acquisition process was completed in 1977.

After denotification, the ministers said that the land was registered in the name of Kumaraswamy’s brother-in-law Channappa in July 2010.

Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government.
