What has prompted the BJP national leaders to suddenly dissociate themselves from mining barons – Reddy brothers – powerful ministers in the B.S. Yeddyurappa-led government in Karnataka? If sources are to be believed, the ongoing investigation into the illegal mining by the Lokayukta has scared the BJPleaders, especially those supporting the Reddy brothers to the hilt in New Delhi. The Lokayukta will submit the detailed investigation report in June. If it names the Reddys in the report, it could cause major embarrassment to them as well as their supporters.
To make matters worse, chief minister Yeddyurappa on Monday said he would examine the Lokayukta report if the Reddys were named in it. “I am aware that the Lokayukta will shortly submit the report on illegal mining in Bellary. If Lokayukta names the Reddy brothers, the report will be examined by the government,” Yeddyurappa said.
