Hours before Karnataka Lokayukta Justice N Santosh Hegde demitted office, outgoing chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on Tuesday filed a petition before him seeking reconsideration of his report indicting him in the illegal mining that cost him the top post.
Yeddyurappa in his petition pleaded with the Lokayukta to reconsider his recommendation for prosecuting him under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, saying it was contrary to the Lokayukta Act and “there are certain errors which have crept into the report”.
The report had not provided any substantive evidence to prove the charge against him, Yeddyurappa, who was directed to quit by party leadership, said.
“The recommendations made in this case are liable for reconsideration as it is not a part of the reference made by the state government. In fact, the recommendations are beyond the reference made by the government," he said after submitting the report.
