Illegal iron ore export scam: CBI failed, so we needed SIT, says Siddaramaiah

Deccan Chronicle  

Mysuru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday denied state BJP chief, B S Yeddyurappa's allegations that the government had decided to reopen the investigation into the illegal iron ore export scam with an eye on the coming elections although the CBI had decided to close it. We formed a cabinet subcommittee led by Minister H K Patil, which found that the CBI had not investigated these cases properly and so we decided to refer them to the SIT," he said, adding caustically, "Earlier BJP leaders called the CBI the Chor Bachao Institution and did not want to hand over a single case to it. Meanwhile, Mr Patil, who was also present, maintained the state had no choice but to hand over the illegal iron ore export scam to the SIT as the CBI was not allowed to investigate it by the BJP government at the Centre. The CBI had closed its investigation into the illegal export of iron ore from New Mangaluru Port, and Karwar, Panaji and Marmagoa claiming lack of evidence.
