CM Siddaramaiah Alleges Vijayendra Offered Rs 150 Crore Bribe To Minority Commission Chief Over Waqf Issue
ABP NewsThe Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday alleged that the BJP state president B Y Vijayendra "tried to bribe" the former Minority Commission Chairperson during the previous BJP government, Anwar Manippady with Rs 150 crore to suppress investigations into the Waqf property encroachment. “Anwar Manippady had publicly stated that Vijayendra visited his house during B S Yediyurappa’s tenure as CM and offered ₹150 crore to keep silent about the Waqf property encroachment report. Why is the BJP leadership shielding Vijayendra and others involved in the Waqf property loot?” the Chief Minister asked. The Chief Minister also alleged that the Vijayapura BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal had accused Vijayendra of paying Rs 2,000 crore to secure his father Yediyurappa’s Chief Ministership.
