Bangalore: Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyuappa will have talks with Bharatiya Janata Party leaders in Delhi late Wednesday on the state Lokayukta’s (ombudsman) recommendation to try him for graft.
“The Lokayukta report needs detailed study. Also most of the cases referred to by the Lokayukta are in court,” he told reporters at the airport before leaving for Delhi.
He also said he has called a meeting of the state cabinet here Thursday to discuss the report submitted by Lokayukta N. Santosh Hegde, which seeks his trial as also that of his four ministers, among others over illegal mining in the state.
The Supreme Court is hearing a public interest petition on illegal mining in iron ore rich district of Bellary, about 300 km from Bangalore.
