*I have confidence in our police*
*BJP itself had termed CBI as Corruption Bureau of Investigation*
*Deve Gowda called CBI a Chor Bachao organization*
Mysore, May 10- Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expressed confidence that the police will conduct a legal investigation. There is no need to hand over the Prajwal Revanna case to the CBI, since he has confidence in the state police.
He was speaking to the media in Mysore today.
Responding to the media’s questions about Kumaraswamy’s request to the Governor to hand over the Prajwal Revanna case to the CBI, the Chief Minister said, “I have confidence in our police.” He said that they will conduct a investigation legally.
Has BJP ever handed over a single case to CBI? Earlier during the Congress government D.K. Ravi case, lottery case, Allegation against Minister K.J.George , Paresh Mesta cases were handed over to CBI. The CM questioned whether anyone had been punished in these cases.
In the past BJP itself has described CBI as Corruption Bureau of Investigation. Devegowda said that CBI is a Chor Bachao organisation. The CM questioned that ‘Do they trust CBI now? I have faith in CBI. However, we have faith in our police’. He also explained that a special investigation team has also been formed for this issue.
Our government does not interfere in legal proceedings and investigations. We believe that the team is doing things appropriately. We have never advised to work against the law. There is no need for an investigation at the international level. We have to trust our police. Is it not our police who investigates all criminal cases. Haven’t we formed a special investigation team? The CM said that our police should be trusted.
The Chief Minister made it clear that neither myself nor DK Shivakumar was involved in this case and we have confidence that the truth will come out.
*No political interference in Revanna’s arrest*
Responding to the allegation of political interference in Revanna’s arrest, the Chief Minister said, “If there is no truth in the allegation against him, why did he seek anticipatory bail?” He questioned why the anticipatory bail application was rejected.
