Opposition JD(S) leader in the Assembly and former Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy took potshots at BJP for trying to bring back KJP chief B S Yeddyurappa into the party, saying it was ‘embracing’ leaders tainted by corruption charge.
Kumaraswamy said while on one hand BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was talking about fighting corruption "wherever he goes", on the other, his party was knocking at the doors of corrupt leaders. "They are trying to embrace a person who was caught in corruption charges as chief minister," he told reporters referring to Yeddyurappa.
Not sparing Congress either, he said the party had lost its "moral right" to talk about corruption as their party leader Rahul Gandhi was trying to woo RJD supremo Lalu Prasad with an eye on Lok Sabha polls next year.
