Karnataka Governor H R Bhardwaj has charged Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa with failure to check illegal mining in the state. He accused the state Government of being totally blind to corruption. He said citizens are complaining but nobody is moving. Bharadwaj demanded that the Chief Minister reply to his recent letters on illegal mining and alleged land scams. The Governor said he had sought reports on the illegal mining issue on earlier occasions too, but the government did not respond. He said as a Governor, he has to check whether what is appearing in the media is correct and if it is correct, he must get a report. He said he has this right under the Constitution. BJP has criticised the Governor's remarks.
