Karkala, Jun 27: “I will not form or join any kind of organization and no question of joining politics again but will continue to fight against corruption”, said Lokayukta Justice N Santhosh Hegde.

Speaking to reporters here, Hegde who had arrived to his home town Nitte to take part in a programme said that he has submitted his resignation well in advance – before two months so that the government can appoint an able person as a Lokayukta.

Pointing out the flaws of the Yeddyurappa Government with which he decided to resign from his post, Hegde said that he had placed three demands before the government – to hike the police pay by 30 percent, to suspend the corrupt officials for two to three days and not to retain them in the same position later and the last one was to provide more police personnel’s to Lokayukta.

Though the CM had agreed to fulfill all the demands he did not keep up his words. He increased the police pay only by 15 percent and rest of the two demands were not fulfilled at all, alleged Hegde.

He also said that he was upset by the rumours that he resigned with the intention to defame the government.
