Bengaluru, 28 Sept

Hitting out at the Siddaramaiah-led government on a host of issues, including 'corruption', JD(S) leader and Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday said if he released the documents in his possession, six to seven state Ministers would have to resign.

He claimed that Congress was trying to "fix" him in some cases after he began cornering the State in some alleged irregularities.

"Siddaramaiah accused (previous BJP government) of being 40 per cent commission government and came to power. This government is taking more than 40 per cent commission," Kumaraswamy asked.

Targeting him on the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case, the JD(S) state president asked, "If he (Siddaramaiah) had no role in the Mysuru (MUDA) scam, then why are certain decisions being made by the cabinet hurriedly?" citing the government withdrawing general consent given to CBI to investigate cases in the State.

Accusing the government of bringing in a new kind of legal system in the State as per which arrests are being made in several cases just because someone gives a complaint, he said, "But in your (Siddaramaiah) case despite 48 hours, after the court issued directions, FIR was not registered."

The Lokayukta police on Friday registered an FIR against Siddaramaiah and others in the MUDA site allotment case, following a Special Court in Bengaluru ordering a probe against him.

Kumaraswamy had on Friday appeared before the Lokayukta police for questioning in connection with a land denotification case.

Noting that he had voluntarily appeared before Lokayukta police, the Union Minister alleged that wrong information was spread among a section of media that Lokayukta had served him a notice, to divert the attention of the public from MUDA case. -PTI
