Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (HB)

Udupi, Sep 27: Auradkar report will be implemented in two phases. Head constable, constables, sub-inspector and circle inspector in one phase. Jailors and its staffs, fire station officials in the following phase. When BJP government was formed, it had added them also as it was approved by the cabinet. We have asked for some clarification from the economic department. Within a week, we will get a clear direction over it,” said Udupi district in-charge minister Basavaraj Bommai, during his first visit to the city on Friday, September 27.

Bommai was speaking to mediapersons at Circuit House Bannanje. He further said, “Phone tapping is investigated by CBI and we do not have any information. As a home minister, it is not right on my part. But we will get to know at the stage of the chargesheet.”

Over the phone tapping of Swamijis, Bommai said, “One should not indulge in phone tapping of other people without any valid reason. Infringement of private conversation is not only wrong but illegal too.”

He declined to comment on Congress leaders’ meeting.

To a query on Supreme Court withholding bypolls in Karnataka and former CM Siddaramaiah saying that there is hand of Central government in the decision, the minister said, “Siddaramaiah always finds mistakes in others’ work.”

Bommai received guard of honour from the district police at Circuit House.

Deputy commissioner G Jagadeesha, superintendent of police Nisha James, Raghupathi Bhat, MLA Udupi, Sukumar Shetty, MLA, Byndoor, Sunil Kumar, MLA, Karkala, Mattaru Ratnakar Hegde and other BJP leaders greeted him on his first visit.
