New List For Lokayukta Post If Guv Rejects Recommendation : CM Sadananda Gowda

As the standoff between Karnataka Governor H R Bhardwaj and the state government continues over the appointment of a new Lokayukta, Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda today said the ruling BJP would have no choice but to prepare a new list of candidates if the Governor rejected their their original recommendation.

“I will try to consult the Governor in the next two days (after MLC election) to iron out confusion over Justice Bannurmath’s appointment as Karnataka Lokayukta,” Gowda told reporters here.

On their course of action if the Governor rejected the government’s recommendation of Justice Bannurmath as the new Lokayukta, Gowda said it would be “inevitable” for the state government to initiate the process of preparing a new list of “eligible” Lokayukta candidates.
