Dr B Thomas (Special correspondent)

A thorough investigation is on into the Santosh suicide case and it will bring out the truth,Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said.

Speaking to media persons Bommai said, Congress has no moral right to speak about us. People rejected Congress because their regime witnessed many murders.

The cases against the outfits facing charges were withdrawn and anarchy prevailed in the State.

I will not react to baseless allegations.If they have any basis,let them submit it and we will investigate.Preliminary investigation is on and based on that let us see what next,Bommai said.

No action till investigation report is obtained

No action would be taken on the demand for resignation of Minister KS Eshwarappa till the investigation report is obtained.

The party high command has not interfered in this issue.The party top brass have obtained the details.They have no role here.

Postmortem was conducted yesterday night.Let the preliminary investigation be complete.Next course of action will be decided based on that, Bommai said.

Replying to a question on Siddaramaiah’s charge that bribe is being extorted at the Chief Minister’s office,Bommai said,there were allegations of corruption when he(Siddu),was the Chief Minister.

A big scam in BDA had erupted. He is in a responsible post.We will investigate if he cites any specific case.He has no moral right to make such charges.

When asked about similar charges against ministers Govind Karjol and Sudhakar,whoever it is,in whichever office it is.I can respond if the allegations are specific,Bommai replied.

Responding to a question on a proposed protest by Contractors’ Association Bommai said, “there are many Contractors’ Associations.I do not know about their decisions.Let them submit if there are any specific cases,we will investigate.”
