BJP in damage control mode after Sushma’s Karnataka remarks
In an apparent bid to play down the controversy over Sushma Swaraj’s remarks on Reddy brothers, former BJP chief Rajnath Singh on Saturday said all decisions related to Karnataka, including appointment of Arun Jaitley as in-charge of the State, had his consent.
“Reports of a rift between Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley are baseless. This is true that Arun was in-charge of Karnataka. I had sent him there as I was president (of BJP) and there were chances of a controversy during Cabinet formation,” Mr. Singh said.
He also accepted that in 2009, when the Reddy brothers revolted against Chief Minister B. S. Yeddyurappa, he had sought the services of Ms. Swaraj to talk to the mining barons to end the crisis.
Ms. Swaraj had claimed in an interview to a weekly that she was asked to talk to the Reddy brothers and convince them to give up their demand for Mr. Yeddyurappa’s removal.
Mr. Singh also said he had made Mr. Jaitley Karnataka in-charge and all decisions taken by the Central leadership at that time had his consent.
Ms. Swaraj had alleged that the decision to give Cabinet berths to Janardhan Reddy and Karunakara Reddy was taken by Mr. Jaitley and senior leaders M. Venkaiah Naidu and Ananth Kumar.
She maintained that she had not acted as the protector of the Reddy brothers and had “no role in the political making” of the mining magnates. In fact, she emphasised that she was opposed to three members of a family finding berths in the Cabinet. The third Reddy brother - Somashekhar - has ministerial status.
Congress intensifies attack
Congress today stepped up attack on BJP over Sushma Swaraj washing her hands off the induction of Bellary brothers as ministers saying, the “Neros of BJP” fiddle in Delhi while Karnataka burns.
“Swaraj’s assertions once again underscore the fundamental reality of BJP that money talks and Yeddyurappa and Reddy walk. While Karnataka burns with corruption, the Neros of BJP fiddle in Delhi.
“It does not require any imagination to find out from where the fiddle came. It definitely came from Bangalore,” Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari told reporters here.
He was replying to questions surrounding the controversy in BJP over Ms. Swaraj’s remarks.
