Veteran BJP leader B.S. Yediyurappa on Tuesday endorsed JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy’s allegations that there is corruption in the Congress dispensation and declared that he would join hands with him in the fight against corruption.
Former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy had alleged that there is ‘YST’ in addition to GST in the State. While Mr. Kumaraswamy had not elaborated on it, ‘YST’ has been interpreted as “Yathindra (Chief Minister’s son) Sales Tax.” Mr. Kumaraswamy had further alleged that there was corruption in Chief Minister’s Office and somebody who had approached the CMO with a recommendation from an MLA had been asked to pay a bribe of ₹30 lakh.
