Congress leaders have demanded that RDPR minister KS Eshwarappa be arrested under two charges – contractor and BJP worker Santosh K. Abetment of Patil to suicide and corruption.
Some Congress leaders who visited Patil’s house and met his wife, mother and other relatives alleged that Mr. Eshwarappa was directly responsible for Patil’s death, which amounted to incitement and the minister was involved in an unprecedented level of corruption. were. Department. Patil, a city contractor and leader of the Hindu Yuva Vahini, was found dead in Udupi a few months after Mr. Eshwarappa was accused of corruption.
It is not suicide, it is murder, as the victim has been tortured endlessly by the minister. This is an open and closed case of murder. Mr. Eshwarappa should be arrested immediately, AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka Randeep Singh Surjewala said.
Corruption is another serious issue. What should we say when the ruling party is looting its own workers? Despite all the evidence, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is saving the minister. This shows that Mr Bommai is also involved. All these developments point towards the involvement of the CM in corruption. The CM has been blinded by the allegations of 40 per cent commission in government contracts executed by the contractors’ union. But this cycle will not last long. People will soon reject him. The BJP’s time is over,’ Mr Surjewala said.
He said the Congress demanded that the state government announce a compensation of Rs 1 crore to the family of the contractor, a government job to the victim’s wife Jayshree Patil and a probe into the allegations leveled by Patil.
If the state government fails to provide jobs to Ms. Jayashree, local Congress leaders such as Lakshmi Hebbalkar, Satish Jarkiholi and Feroz Sait will accommodate her in their institutions or companies, Mr. Surjewala said.
We will stand in support of the family and fight for them. Reacting to BJP general secretary Arun Singh’s remark that Mr Surjewala was coming to Karnataka without visiting Rajasthan or other states where similar incidents used to happen, the Congress leader said Mr Singh was cruel.
I think Mr. Singh has lost his political sense. How could he be so cruel and cruel. Can’t they see tears in the eyes of the dead BJP worker’s mother and wife? They should be ashamed of themselves if the BJP is so ruthless, Mr. Surjewala said.
