Min meets CM, says ready for investigation
OPPOSITION BJP is going full throttle against RDPR Minister Priyank Kharge, son of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, in the case of Bidar contractor Sachin Panchal's suicide, which exposed the plight of contractors to get government projects.
As BJP earlier managed to get B Nagendra removed from the cabinet for his alleged involvement in the multi-crore Maharshi Valmiki ST Development Corporation scam, it is adopting a similar strategy to target junior Kharge. It is already talking about how KS Eshwarappa, who was the RDPR minister when the party was in power, resigned after Santhosh Patil, a contractor from Belagavi, committed suicide after naming him.
As Priyank's supporter and former Kalaburagi corporator Raju Kapanur allegedly abetted the suicide of Panchal, and has been booked by the police, the saffron party is seeking his resignation from the post.
