Former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Monday said he was not afraid of any probe into the phone tapping allegations, as he accused the BJP government of running a "transfer business" in the State.

The JDS leader's statement triggered a war of words with chief minister B Yeddiyurappa's son B Y Vijayendra saying it was not appropriate to make "baseless allegations."
Taking a serious note of it, Vijayendra tweeted the clipping of Kumaraswamys statement as it appeared in a Kannada news channel, which read that Yediyurappa has "let his son loose to run the transfer business."
Reacting, Kumarasawmy cautioned chief minister Yediyurappa to keep his children "within their limits."
