Karnataka Water ResourcesMinister M B Patil today said he would take legal action against state BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa for reportedly calling him a "commission agent" in the state government.
"I have consulted legal experts regarding former chief minister Yeddyurappa calling me a commission agent in the Siddaramaiah government. A case will be filed against him," Patil said.
A notice regarding this would soon be sent to Yeddyurappa, he said in a statement here.
