Yeddyurappa to release book on Deve Gowda, family's 'misdeeds'

Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa today said he would soon release a book containing the alleged misdeeds of JDS supremo and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and his family.

"The book would contain details of all cases of corruption and scams, particularly illegal appointments made in Karnataka Public Service Commission during the tenure of Gowda's son HD Kumaraswamy as chief minister," he told reporters here.

"If Deve Gowda so wishes, I will send the book to Parliament, and also the president, prime minister and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi," Yeddyurappa said.

Meanwhile, Yeddyurappa said the BJP is seriously considering replacing deputy chairman of the State Legislative Council, Puttanna (JDS), with its own candidate, as the party is enjoying majority in the Upper House.

"The party high-command will soon decide on the candidate," he added.
