Yeddyurappa comes out in support of DK Shivakumar?

In a surprising move, BJP State President BS Yeddyurappa said that Congress's DK Shivakumar is capable of answering all queries regarding the IT raids and he is a strong man.

This statement or assurance if we can call it comes as a surprise as it is speculated that IT raids on Shivakumar were instigated by the BJP  in the Centre. However, so far no FIR has been filed on DK Shivakumar, instead only rumours of crores of rupees and details of unaccounted properties found are making rounds.

The Minister is free from the raids for now after being questioned and not allowed out of home for three days.
Meanwhile, the name DK Shivakumar which was familiar to people of Karnataka also made a sound in the national channels making others also take note of this politician.

Will this be fruitful to Shivakumar or will he be behind the bards following the finding of the IT officials cannot speculate yet? However, Yeddyurappa's statement might have come from a pressure of old cases of identification against him being reopened.

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, reacting about the IT raids on DK Shivakumar had said that the timing of the raid is not right and it is not fair to target only Congress Ministers. Thus he had said that all old cases against BJP leaders would be reopened.

Has this left Yeddyurappa worried that cases against him will be reopened?
