Senior BJP leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Friday (18 March) slammed the Congress’ allegations that he had made payments to the tune of Rs 1,800 crore to the BJP and its various leaders.
As per media reports, the Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala had alleged the presence of a ‘diary’ with contained entries of payments made to various BJP leaders.
It alleged that Yeddyurappa paid BJP Central Committee Rs 1,000 crore, and Rs 800 crore to senior leaders of the party.
These sensational allegations have not been taken lying down by Yeddyurappa who has threatened legal action and asserted that the diary is fake.
In a twitter post, Yeddyurappa went all guns blazing at the Congress and challenged it to prove the allegations or face defamation case.
Commenting on the issue, Yeddyurappa said that the matter has already been probed by the Income Tax department and has been found to be fake. Before calling it a “closed chapter”, he claimed that the Congress planed the story in the media.
