The Congress on Sunday demanded Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa's resignation and a probe by a Supreme Court Judge into an alleged bribery scam in the over ₹662-crore housing project in Bengaluru. The Congress said that the judicial probe was necessary as the Chief Minister's family, including his grandson Shashidhar Maradi, were alleged beneficiaries in the scam. The Congress leader pointed to alleged audio conversations of Chief Minister's son Vijayendra Yeddyurappa, WhatsApp conversations between the contractor and Maradi, transfer of crores in cash and through RTGS into bank accounts and alleged money -laundering through seven Kolkata companies. The Congress gave a detailed chronology of the alleged collusion and bribery in the Rs 666.22-crore project for construction of apartments by the Bangalore Development Authority.
