Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar asserted on Friday that he was prepared to handle any circumstance, but that certain bureaucrats and politicians were using vendetta politics to harass him.
“Vengeance politics is being used by certain bureaucrats and politicians. The wheels of time are turning, and I have complete faith in God and the legal system,” the senior Congressman stated to reporters.
In response to questions from reporters regarding the CBI’s approach to the High Court challenging the state government’s decision to revoke its investigation authorization, he stated: “The CBI has the right to make an application to the High Court. We’ll present our case, and they’ll present theirs. In the end, the decision will come from the court. I have total confidence in our legal system.
“There is not even a single case registered against me. The case was handed over to the CBI only to harass me. The current government has taken a decision to withdraw that permission and has handed over the case to Lokayukta.”
Shivakumar further said: “The CBI has issued a notice to my family members, my institutions and my business associates. They have even issued notice to people who had done business with me 30 years ago. I don’t know what their intentions are.
“There are many such cases against many BJP leaders but no action has been initiated against them. There is a limit to how much they can harass. I know I have not made any mistakes,” he added.
The Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister further said that recently, a large amount of cash was found in the residence of a BJP legislator “but the court cleared the MLA stating that the cash belonged to his son”.
“All sins will get washed away if anyone joins the BJP. I know who is behind all this,” he said.
Asked if CBI’s fresh move had anything to do with the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, he said: “I am not sure of what their end objective is. I have seen everything in life. I am ready to face any situation. Everyone knows what happened after sending me to jail. I believe the court will give me justice.”
