Alleging rampant corruption in the Rs. 150 crore tender for construction of steel fly-over in Bengaluru, State BJP President and former CM B.S. Yeddyurappa has claimed that Chief Minister Siddharamaiah had received Rs. 65 core as kickback in the deal.

Addressing press persons at the State BJP headquarters in Malleswaram here this morning, Yeddyurappa said the alleged kickback received by the CM has been noted down in the diary of MLC Govindaraj, who is a close confident of the CM.

Challenging Siddharamaiah to come clean with all the notings in Govindaraj’s diary, Yeddyurappa said the Siddharamaiah led Congress Government was most corrupt.
