Karnataka’s Aam Admi Party (AAP) President, Dr. Mukhyamantri Chandru, has urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to take immediate action against Agriculture Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy, who has been accused of involvement in a bribery scam. In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, Dr. Chandru highlighted the expectations of the people and emphasized the need for a corruption-free administration.
The letter expressed concern over recent corruption allegations, including transfer scams and the withholding of contractors’ payments. Dr. Chandru also pointed out that the corruption complaint against Minister Cheluvarayaswamy raised doubts about the credibility of the current administration. The AAP President demanded that the Chief Minister dismiss the minister and take necessary steps to protect the individuals who came forward with the complaints.
Drawing a comparison to a similar incident in Punjab, Dr. Chandru highlighted the swift action taken by the Chief Minister in dismissing and imprisoning an Aam Admi Party minister accused of corruption. He cautioned that the lack of action in this case could lead people to believe that the Chief Minister is complicit in the alleged bribery scam.
Dr. Chandru stressed the importance of addressing the corruption complaints promptly and initiating a thorough investigation. He urged the Chief Minister to ensure that ministers and high-ranking officials do not interfere with the process. The AAP leader warned that failure to take appropriate action would prompt his party to protest against the Chief Minister for replacing a corrupt government with one accused of bribery.
The allegations against Minister Cheluvarayaswamy come at a time when the people of Karnataka are hoping for a transparent and accountable government. Dr. Chandru’s letter reflects the concerns of citizens who desire an administration that prioritizes the welfare of the people and acts against corruption.
The AAP President’s demand for action reflects the growing public sentiment and emphasizes the need for accountability within the government. As the Chief Minister of Karnataka, it is now up to Siddaramaiah to address these allegations and ensure a fair and unbiased investigation into the bribery scam.
