Udupi: BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje alleged that former power minister D K Shivakumar was keen to have the same ministry in order to close the files related to various illegalities done during his tenure.
Speaking to media persons here in the BJP Dakshina Kannada unit office on Tuesday, Karandlaje, a former energy minister herself said, “I know how my predecessors had managed the power ministry. Serious illegalities have occurred in the power ministry during the Congress tenure.
The ex-power minister has a fear that a new power minister may find out the old illegalities, so he wants the same ministry at any cost. It is shameful that these people still fight for ministries when people are dying,” she said.
Further she added, “PM Narendra Modi government has undertaken several works for the cleansing of River Ganga as well as to bring the black money back from other countries. The disappointment expressed by Udupi Pejavar Seer with the government is out of lack of information. We will convince the seer about the efforts of the government.”
