Yeddyurappa again in hospital
BANGALORE: BS Yeddyurappa the former Chief Minister of Karnataka has been discharged from Victoria Hospital and is back in Bangalore’s Central Jail, where after few hours on Saturday he is being rushing to the hospital.
On Tuesday night, Karnataka minister V Somanna after meeting him said Mr Yeddyurappa wanted to return to jail as he was “frustrated” with media reports that accused him of fake illness as a way to avoid prison.
He had surrendered after a Lokayukta court denied him bail. Mr Yeddyurappa was arrested over the weekend for misusing his office while he was Chief Minister to help his two sons get prized public land at throwaway prices. The court sent him to judicial custody till October 22.
But within hours of being return in jail, Mr Yeddyurappa complained of breathlessness and chest pains and was moved to hospital. When doctors at the state-run Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology discharged him yesterday, saying his condition appeared to be stable, Mr Yeddyurappa checked into the Victoria Hospital, known for its specialized medical treatment.
Now Yeddyurappa’s application for interim bail is scheduled to be heard tomorrow in the Karnataka High Court.
