Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 21 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party Karnataka President BY Vijayendra on Friday demanded that the Karnataka government hand over the alleged honey trap attempt case either to the CBI or a sitting High Court judge.
The BJP leader said that it is the responsibility of the CM to take this matter seriously and order a thorough investigation.
“It was an issue of honey trapping raised by none other than the senior Congress MLAs and a cabinet minister who raised the issue on the floor of the house yesterday and demanded an enquiry into the honey trapping. The home minister declared yesterday that they will probe into this matter, but later in the evening Home Minister G. Parameshwara said he didn’t receive any official information regarding honey trapping. This means that Congress is trying to cover up the issue. It is the responsibility of the CM to take this matter seriously and order a thorough investigation,” the BJP leader said addressing reporters.
“BJP and JDS demand the state government should hand over the investigation either to the CBI or a sitting high court judge,” he added.
Reacting to the 4 per cent reservation to Minority contractors, Vijayendra opposed the injustice against Hindus in Karnataka.
“Secondly, the CM is adamant and repeatedly claims that they will give 4% reservation to government contracts. Why is it that only Muslims are given this reservation? We oppose this injustice against Hindus in Karnataka. For Muslims who go to study abroad, the money has been increased from 20 to 30 lakhs. I would like to remind the CM that it is Hindu women who got affected by love jihad in Karnataka. The CM is not only for Muslims. He should give money to every section of society and the appeasement politics should not stoop to this level,” he added.
He further said that the BJP will take it to the streets and protest against the corrupt and “minority appeasement politics.”
Earlier today, chaos prevailed in the Karnataka Assembly on Friday after the revelation of Karnataka Cooperation Minister KN Rajanna alleging a honey trap attempt was made on him.
BJP legislators raised loud slogans “down, down” as some members held CDs in their hands claiming they had proof of the alleged honey trap. They then stormed into the well of the house even as CM Siddaramaiah was speaking.
R Ashoka, BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly said, “It is not the issue of one party, it’s a biggest conspiracy against legislators who are working for the people and some are doing this (honey trap) with clear hidden agenda.”
Speaking in the house Chief Minister Siddaramaiah defended his government and said there was no question of protecting anyone in the Honey Trap.
The BJP leaders were demanding a judicial inquiry, but CM Siddaramiah said that G Parmeshwara had already responded to the allegations made by KN Rajanna, and has set up an enquiry. (ANI)
