BJP leaders and workers protested in Bengaluru today against what they said was the misuse of the anti-corruption bureau of Karnataka and "political vendetta" by the ruling Congress government in the state.
Last week, former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa and senior BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa was named in two complaints filed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Karnataka. The First Information Reports or FIRs name Mr Yeddyurappa in a land de-notification issue. The agency has alleged that when he was the chief minister, Mr Yeddyurappa, 74, was party to the de-notification of land in north Bengaluru that was meant to be part of a Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) residential area called the Shivaram Karanth Layout.
