    Sir, how can you book the culprits when you have not given any power on CM, MLAs & Ministers ? Do you think lacs of tons iron ore disappeared without the involvement of those on whom you have not been given power ? Be honest sir, do not lose the respect what you have earned all your life. Only CBI is the right body to unearth the whole episode.

    Dear Mr. Hegde, hats off to you and your willingness to continue to fight against corruption. We the people of Mangalore / Karnataka, wish and hope that you will be given these powers to investigate in to this huge ore scam. But you never know what the government will do, because, if they give the power to you - Lokayukta, minsiters and big wigs who are involved in this scam will be exposed. This is major concern and apprehensions of the Govt to give you a free hand to investigate in to this case. We wish you luck always and thank you for being so bold on your stand.
