UPA government has no moral right to advise: Yeddyurappa
May 25th, 2011 - 8:07 pm ICT by IANS
Hubli, May 25 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa said Wednesday the “scam-ridden” United Progressive Alliance government at the centre “has no moral right to advise us” on how to run the government.
“The central government has no moral right to advise us as it is drowning in various corruption scandals,” he told reporters in this north Karnataka town, about 400 km from Bangalore.
Yeddyurappa was referring to union Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s statement that his ministry would soon send an advisory to the Karnataka government.
“Perhaps it is being done to please the state Congress leaders who tried for president’s rule in the state through blackmail tactics,” Yeddyurappa said.
Chidambaram said in New Delhi Monday, a day after the central government rejected Governor H.R. Bhardwaj’s recommendation to dismiss the Yeddyurappa ministry, that his ministry would send an advisory to the Karnataka government.
He did not elaborate on what the advisory will contain nor did he specify when it will be sent.
Yeddyurappa said he has not received any advisory or letter from Chidambaram. “I will give a detail reply,” he said.
The chief minister also said he would meet Chidambaram and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to ask them to whom all they had sent advisories in the past and “why this special interest in Karnataka”.
