Minister for School Education Madhu Bangarappa urged BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra to answer the allegations made by Basanagouda Patil Yatna, BJP MLA, instead of commenting on him (Madhu Bangarappa).
In a press conference at his residence in Shivamogga on Tuesday, January 2, Mr. Madhu Bangarappa said his plate was clean, but a dead rat was lying on Vijayendra’s plate. “Let him look after his plate first. Their own MLA, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, has made several allegations against BJP leaders. He has spoken about massive corruption during the BJP rule. Why have you not responded to them so far?” he asked.
The Minister was reacting to Vijayendra’s demand for Madhu Bangarappa’s resignation over the recent cheque-bounce case. “The case was a private thing related to the company affair. BJP leaders have no moral right to demand my resignation on this issue,” he said.
