Bangalore, Jun 10 (DHNS): Senior BJP senior leader Ravi Shankar Prasad has said if Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa was found guilty in the Lokayukta report, the BJP high command would initiate disciplinary action against him. Prasad was speaking to reporters in the City on Thursday.

He, however, said the allegations against Yeddyurappa were yet to be proven, when asked about the Central BJP’s silence over the alleged corruption in Karnataka, as opposed to its clamour against the UPA government. Prasad said the State party unit had to pull up its socks and work harder to boost the party’s image.

He said though the State unit had been doing its bit, it had attracted a lot of criticism from opposition parties over issues pertaining to corruption and illegal mining.

Noteworthy progress

The BJP leader, however, said the Yeddyurappa-led government had made noteworthy progress in fields like e-governance, which had also won the Centre’s appreciation.

Trying to downplay senior BJP leader L K Advani’s recent remarks on the BJP leadership in Karnataka, Prasad said the government had paid heed to Advani’s remarks by taking adequate measures.

The BJP will begin a nationwide campaign against the UPA government for unceremoniously evicting yoga guru Baba Ramdev during his fast at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi, from June 23 to 26.
