Bengaluru:
Defending his meeting with the Karnataka Governor against Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa s alleged direct interference in the affairs of his department, Karnataka Rural Development Minister KS Eshwarappa today said it was to seek clarification and not to complain.
Rejecting speculations about a change in the state s chief minister, he said Mr Yediyurappa was his leader and loyalty to the party was utmost important for him. I don t want to talk much on this issue as our national leaders are intervening into it and I m confident that they will resolve it.. as per Transaction of Business Rules 1977, CM cannot directly handle things. The chief minister can allocate money to departments but distributing it is left to the department, Mr Eshwarappa said.
Speaking to reporters here, the minister said he had gone to get clarification regarding this from Governor Vajubhai Vala, who has a long experience of 17-18 years as the Finance Minister in Gujarat. I had gone to get clarification, not to complain. Neither have I given, nor I will give any complaint.. as CM directly sanctioned money (to MLAs), to clarify regarding this I had gone to the Governor..
Other than this there is nothing, he said, as he termed as wrong reports of him complaining against Yediyurappa.
Eshwarappa, also a former state BJP president, on March 31 had met and submitted a five-page letter to the Governor on serious lapses and authoritarian ways of running the administration by the CM.
