Yeddyurappa asks Sonia to provide proof of allegations

Bangalore, December 14: Hitting back at Congress President Sonia Gandhi for hurling charges of corruption against him, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa today shot off a letter to her asking her to provide proof for her allegations.

“The charges against me are baseless and made with the intention of maligning my government”, he said, a day after Gandhi lashed out at BJP leaderhship for not acting against Yeddyurappa despite corruption charges against him.

In his letter to Gandhi, copies of which were released to the media here, he said “I would like to know whether there is any proof or evidence to prove these charges and if there is any, I request you to send the same to enable me to place the record straight”.
