BJP talks of rejecting Hegdes report at first meet of new Cabinet

Senior BJP leader and a close associate of Yeddyurappa,Dr V S Acharya,said the government will use the full quota of three months available to it under the Karnataka Lokayukta Act 1984. It is a voluminous report. We have three months to study it, Acharya said. If no decision is taken on the report in three months,the report is deemed as accepted under the Act.

The government will also appoint a new advocate general before deciding anything.

The two lines of thinking that have been discussed so far are to set up a committee to look at all issues raised by the report and to give some sort of an action taken report as was done with the first report,sources said. The other is reportedly to reject the report outright as is possible under the Lokayukta Act during the first meeting of the new Cabinet. Sources said the government is strongly in favour of risking a crisis on the report through an outright rejection of it.
