Former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Wednesday denied allegations of phone tapping during his tenure, even as the BJP raised the pitch demanding a comprehensive probe into it.
"There was no need for me to intercept phone calls to save my government when I have been saying repeatedly the post of chief minister is not forever.
Allegations against me by some people is far from truth," Kumaraswamy tweeted.
As the matter snowballed into a major controversy, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa told reporters, "I am observing the developments. I will discuss with the Chief Secretary (T M Vijay Bhaskar) and think about further action."
