Would sue BS Yeddyurappa for calling me ‘commission agent’: Karnataka minister

The BJP leader reportedly made the charge a couple of days ago in Vijayapura district during his ongoing statewide 'Karnataka Parivartan Yatra', ahead of the 2018 assembly polls.

Karnataka Water Resources Minister M B Patil on Friday said he would take legal action against state BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa for reportedly calling him a “commission agent” in the state government. “I have consulted legal experts regarding former chief minister Yeddyurappa calling me a commission agent in the Siddaramaiah government. A case will be filed against him,” Patil said.

A notice regarding this would soon be sent to Yeddyurappa, he said in a statement here.

Citing Yeddyurappa’s reported allegation, terming him a commission agent who provided financial resources to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Patil said, “I have taken his statement very seriously.”
