New Delhi, July 18: The BJP today appeared to have decided to brazen it out in the fight with the opposition with Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa giving a clean chit to the Reddy brothers facing allegations of illegal mining and ruling out their dismissal from the cabinet.
“101 per cent. There is no charge against them. There is no evidence against them. Let them (opposition) approach the high court,” Yeddyurappa told reporters here when asked if he was giving a clean chit to the Reddy brothers G Janardhan Reddy and G Karunakar Reddy.
The Chief Minister’s remarks came after the Reddy brothers held a breakfast meeting with Yeddyurappa who is under opposition pressure to remove them on charges of illegal mining and excessive export of iron ore.
“The question of taking action against the Reddy brothers does not arise.
