Cong leaders must undergo lie detector test: BJP
Monday, July 12 2004 15:40 Hrs (IST)

Bangalore: Opposition BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly B S Yediyurappa today (July 12, 2004) demanded that the CBI conduct narco analysis test on all those Congress leaders including Union minister Gulam Nabi Azad and State's Water Resources Minister Mallikarjun Kharge named by a retired police official arrested in connection with the Telgi scam.

At a press conference at Bangalore, he also demanded that in the light of allegations made by retired Assistant Commissioner of Police Sangram Singh that he was being made a scapegoat by some Congress leaders to protect former minister Roshan Baig, whose name has been linked with the fake stamp paper racket, Kharge should resign to avoid embarrassment to Chief Minister N Dharam Singh.

Yediyurappa urged that in the event of Kharge failing to put in his papers, he should be dropped from the ministry.

He took exception to Singh's statement rejecting the charges hurled by the retired police official claiming that the Chief Minister was under political pressure to protect those involved.

Yediyurappa also flayed the State Government decision to order an enquiry into the motives behind the official making such allegations and alleged that it amounted to interfering with the ongoing probe by CBI.

Last week, Sangram Sangh, arrested in connection with the stamp paper racket, told a local court that former chief minister S M Krishna, former minister D K Shivakumar, Kharge and Azad have made him a scape-goat to protect Baig.
