Gali Janardhan Reddy, the scam tainted politician who has spent three years in jail over corruption charges, will campaign for the BJP in the Karnataka assembly elections, the party's chief ministerial candidate BS Yeddyurappa has told NDTV.

Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his talk on corruption, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday asked him to "walk the talk", posing four questions, including appointing an "untainted person" as BJP's chief ministerial candidate in the state.

The Karnataka High Court on Friday stayed an inquiry into the corruption charge against BJP MP and former Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa in a land deal for lack of evidence from the state Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

After the anti-corruption bureau of Karnataka filed two FIRs naming former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa in a land de-notification issue earlier this week, his party the BJP has hit back.

Senior BJP leader LK Advani has been on the road for eight days now, taking his yatra and strong anti-UPA, anti-corruption message from state to state. Only, the arrest of former Karnataka Chief Minister and partyman BS Yeddyurappa on corruption charges is playing spoilsport.

It's unlikely to take long for BS Yeddyurappa to get the back-to-work blues. The Chief Minister of Karnataka is currently holidaying in Mauritius; his return to Delhi on Monday comes amid a new round of corruption charges, some of the most serious that the 68-year-old has confronted.

When politicians engage in warfare, as they frequently do, who's to decide who's right? God apparently. In Karnataka, Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa dared his arch-rival and Opposition leader HD Kumaraswamy to meet him in a temple. In an open letter published in local newspapers, Mr Yeddyurappa said that Mr Kumaraswamy should swear before God that h...
