Rural Development & Panchayat Raj Minister K.S. Eshwarappa urges Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to order a comprehensive investigation into the death of civil contractor Santosh K. Patil
Rural Development & Panchayat Raj Minister K.S. Eshwarappa ruled out resigning from the Karnataka Cabinet, but urged Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to order a comprehensive investigation into the death of civil contractor Santosh K. Patil.
On April 13, the Minister told mediapersons in Shivamogga that he had spoken to BJP’s State president Nalin Kumar Kateel and Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. “I will meet the Chief Minister in a day or two, and explain everything in detail in person,” he said.
Alleging a conspiracy in the contractor’s death, Mr. Eshwarappa demanded a probe to identify the people who hatched this plot. “I don’t want to describe the (WhatsApp) message being circulated (on social media) as a death note. The probe should find out who created that message.”
