Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa\'s son Vijayendra acting like Super CM, alleges Congress

Deccan Chronicle  

Mysuru: KPCC spokesperson M Lakshman on Wednesday released a copy of a letter, reportedly sent by seven BJP MLAs to the BJP high command accusing CM BS Yeddyurappa’s son BY Vijayendra of functioning as “Super CM” and indulging in corruption of over Rs 5000 crore by taking a 15 percent commission or VST to get any government-related done. Addressing a press meet in Mysuru, Lakshman said that the BJP MLAs have in the letter stated that the 78-year-old Yeddyurappa is only a constitutional and technical Chief Minister and that Vijayendra has been functioning as a "Super CM", taking advantage of his father's advanced age. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah had termed Congress-led Siddaramaiah government as 10 percent government, but now Vijayendra has been taking a 15 percent commission for getting government-related job done, the party further alleged. Lakshman said that that the seven legislators have complained that no major work happens in the state government without Vijayendra’s consent and that BSY himself had expressed his helplessness on this matter.
