Congress today had a dig at BJP over reports about arrested former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa’s admission in a hospital allegedly to avoid prison stay dubbing it as a “five-star jail yatra”.

“Like the five-star rath yatra (by L K Advani),it is a five-star jail yatra. BJP had all along supported his all attempts to remain outside jail”,party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said.

Taking a dig at Yeddyurappa,he said such type of occasional visits to jail were allowed only to the “lucky” ones and not to the common people. “Will the Chief Minister visit the jail so often to meet any common man?”,he said.

“This is nothing but trying to fool the people of this nation and it deserves to be either condemned or laughed at or both”,he said.
