SHIVAMOGGA: Former chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday extended moral support to KS Eshwarappa, saying he was confident that the BJP leader would be cleared of all charges and return as a minister soon.
Eshwarappa, who was the rural development and panchayat raj minister, is accused in an FIR of abetting the recent suicide of contractor Santosh K Patil. The contractor had earlier alleged that Eshwarappa had demanded 40% commission for a Rs 4-crore project.
