Hubli (Karnataka): Coming down on Chief
Minister BS Yeddyurappa over the illegal mining issue, senior
Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Monday said he would be in the
dock after the second Lokayuta report on the irregularities
comes out.

Speaking to reporters here, Siddaramaiah accused some
BJP MLAs of lobbying for Yeddyurappa, which he termed as "a
shame on the part of the party".

The Opposition leader in the Assembly urged Lokayukta
Santosh Hegde to issue suo moto notice to the chief minister
in the wake of some of his party workers allegedly trying to
influence the Lokayukta against indicting Yeddyurappa in the
report on illegal mining.
