BJP strongman B. S. Yeddyurappa today hit back at former Chief Minister D. V. Sadananda Gowda for endorsing BJP leader L. K. Advani’s comments on the state of affairs in the Karnataka BJP unit.
“Gowda is a former Chief Minister and I believe he will issue statements with a sense of responsibility. He should come out in the open and talk about corruption, if any, during my tenure as Chief Minister,” Yeddyurappa told presspersons here.
Endorsing Advani’s comments on BJP “bungling” in Karnataka, Gowda had said there were no instances of corruption during his tenure as Chief Minister and he had given clean governance.
Yeddyurappa said because of such statements a wrong message is reaching Advani. “I would like to tell Gowda that Advani had appreciated my work as Chief Minister, but now the opinion has changed,” he said.
Against this backdrop, Yeddyurappa said, he would meet Gowda and clear doubts on BJP “bungling” during his chief ministerial tenure. He said he would also meet Advani and place the facts before him and clear the air.
Advani had stated in his blog, “... so far as the BJP is concerned, the bungling in Karnataka notwithstanding, all recent public opinion surveys clearly reveal that the principal beneficiary of the Congress party’s fast-eroding reputation continues to be the BJP.”
Advani has been critical of Yeddyurappa ever since the Lokayukta indicted the former Chief Minister in the report on illegal mining in the State.

Comments:
If corruption happened in Yeddi tenure (with his conscious) pls central leadership form committee to evaluate the reality. When Yeddi changed the rebulic of Bellary bureaucrats to control the Reddy brothers and their illegal mafia central powerful politicians strongly behind them and revoke government order in order to proced their illegal activities. He is first CM in the country to written letter to center urging banning of export of mining to curb illegal mining and standardizing the industry in order to protect and preserving the natural resource. Sadananda Gowda touched his feet before taking oath of CM and his back despite taking central leadership allowed him to become CM year back and his sulking relationship with Yeddi responsible for leaving chair to current CM. Advanji being a seniormost person in the party and statesman should have the factual data from various division to analyse who what wron did and how much responsible Yeddi for whatever charges leveling against him.
