Vijayendra rebuffs CM’s Waqf land bribe allegations
Asks CM to hand over MUDA and Valmiki Corpn. multi-crore scams to CBI
Belagavi: Taking on the Congress Government for accusing him of offering Rs. 150 crore to the then Karnataka State Minorities Development Corporation Chairman Anwar Manippady, who is also a BJP leader, for remaining silent on Waqf Board land encroachments, State BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra said that the Congress had made this baseless charge against him to divert attention from its own scandals.
Speaking at the Winter Session of the State Legislature, which resumed after a 2-day break at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha (SVS) in Belagavi this morning, Vijayendra responded in detail to the charges levelled against him by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Expressing his frustration over what he termed frivolous accusations, Vijayendra stated that the charges were made by CM Siddaramaiah and Minister Priyank Kharge while he was not present in the House.
Reiterating that he had not offered any money to Manippady, he noted that the CM has now announced that the Government has decided to order a CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) probe into the allegations against him.
