Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa, who is caught in a row following his alleged role in the suicide of a contractor said that he will step down.
The Karnataka unit of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday demanded the immediate arrest and investigation of state Minister KS Eshwarappa in connection with the death of contractor Santosh Patil.
"The resignation alone of KS Eshwarappa is not enough, he should be arrested immediately and all the scams in his Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department must be thoroughly investigated and only then the truth will come out and that will do justice to the contractor Santosh Patil's death," said AAP State President Prithvi Reddy.
Mr Reddy said that Mr Eshwarappa must face the law in the suicide case of Santosh Patil.
"It is deplorable that no arrest has taken place even with the death note and statements of the close relatives of the deceased. There are reports of large scale scams in NAREGA and Road developments. The story behind 2.89 lakh job cards in NAREGA must be exposed. There are reports of 40 per cent commission in all contracts during Mr Eshwarappa's tenure," alleged AAP leader.
