The State president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) B S Yeddyurappa, on Wednesday, August 29, alleged that the state government was tapping his and Congress leader Siddaramiah’s phones.
Speaking to the media, Yeddyurappa said, “There is no doubt that my phone is being tapped. Siddarmaiah and other leaders’ private conversations are also tapped,” and warned the state government to stop it immediately or face the consequences.
He also said that several top leaders of the Congress and officials were in touch with him about pledging allegiance to the BJP.
Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy denied these allegations. Speaking to the media at Ramanagar, the CM said that he was ready for an inquiry into the matter. “BJP is in power at the Centre. Let Yeddyurappa complain to the central government about the matter. I am ready to take action if any wrongdoings are found,” he added.
