Bengaluru, Jan 14 (UNI) Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar on Thursday demanded judicial inquiry into allegation by BJP Legislator Basanagouda Patil Yetnal to the effect that Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has 'succumbed to blackmail' through CD and made a MLA Minister.
Speaking to mediapersons here, Mr Shivakumar said that, 'My allegation to the same effect at Karwar recently was ignored, but now since the allegation was made by a ruling party Legislator, only a judicial probe can come out with truth. This case comes under criminal procedure.'.
Mr Yetnal has also questioned the Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax institution, so only an inquiry by a High Court judge can unearth the truth, the Congress leader said.
