Yeddyurappa true face of BJP : Congress

New Delhi: With the Supreme Court ordering a CBI probe against B S Yeddyurappa, Congress on Friday sought to embarrass the BJP dubbing the former Karnataka Chief Minister as the "true face" of the Opposition party.

"Everyone knows about the involvement of Yeddyurappa in illegal mining. This is the true face of BJP. Instead of shouting from rooftops on the issue of corruption, the BJP should introspect", party spokesman Rashid Alvi said.

He regretted that the BJP was not allowing Parliament to function on the issue of "baseless allegations" of corruption while the fact is that the internal situation in the party was not good as seen from the order against Yeddyurappa.

The SC ordered a CBI probe against BS Yeddyurappa for allegedly granting undue favours to firms involved in illegal mining.

The Supreme Court on Friday ordered a CBI probe against Yeddyurappa for allegedly granting undue favours to firms involved in illegal mining in lieu of donations to a charitable trust run by his kin.

A Special Forest bench headed by Chief Justice S H Kapadia directed the probe agency to carry out the probe uninfluenced by the stature of the person and political clout and corporates involved in the case and file its report by August 3.
