Yeddyurappa must step down: CPI(M)

Staff Correspondent

DAVANGERE: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has said that Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa has no moral right to continue in office. The party has decided to lay siege to over 50 taluk offices in the State on April 19 demanding the immediate resignation of Mr. Yeddyurappa to facilitate a free and fair probe into his alleged illegal acts.

Maruthi Manpade, secretary of the State CPI(M), said that it was unbecoming of the Chief Minister to continue in the post after the Governor gave permission to investigate charges against him.

Allegations

Mr. Manpade said that administration had come to a grinding halt in the State owing to the internal squabbles within the Bharatiya Janata Party. The Government was under the grip of different ‘mafias', he alleged.

The BJP high command was unable to remove Mr. Yeddyurappa from the post despite being aware of the Chief Minister's involvement in various scams, he said and added that his party would soon call for a Statewide bandh to bring pressure on Mr. Yedduyrappa to resign.

Mr. Manpade also criticised the Union Government for its failure to contain the ever escalating prices of essential commodities in the country.
