20 BJP MLAs ready to join Congress: KPCC chief

Bengaluru, Oct 17: Stung by the exit of several senior leaders from the party and amid fear that more might quit, KPCC president G Parameshwara on Monday claimed that 20 MLAs from the Opposition BJP were ready to join the Congress.

Channapatna legislator C P Yogeeshwara joined the list of leaders like S M Krishna, A H Vishwanath, V Srinivas Prasad and Jayaprakash Hegde who have quit the Congress.

“There was no indication of people leaving the party. The party is not concerned about those who have quit. There are 20 BJP MLAs ready to join us,” Parameshwara told reporters.

Apparently, the party’s top leadership has drawn up an action plan to retain its leaders and keep them from quitting after it came up for discussion during the state Congress leaders' meeting with AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi recently.

BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa last week also claimed that legislators from the Congress and the JD(S) were in touch with him. “They’ll join us in a month’s time,” Yeddyurappa said.

Sir,

Rotten Apple will spoil whole basket hence don't trust such creature. Only trust peace loving patriot INDIANS. For the sake of money and power such criminal will not spare even their wife that all KANNADIGAS observed in the past.

Who ever left congress and joined bjp  now are  like na ghar ka na ghat ka.

Politicans  who ever change their party from one to another never trust or support.

Chennai, July 27: Multi-lingual actress Vijayalakshmi, who attempted suicide yesterday, alleging harassment and bullying by followers of Naam Thamizhar party leader Seeman and Panankattu Padai’s Hari Nadar, is recuperating at a hospital in Chennai. 

Vijayalakshmi is known for films like Friends and Boss Engira Baskaran. She recently made headlines for speaking against Seeman and the torture she was allegedly facing from the actor-turned-politician and his party.

In the video which was uploaded on Sunday evening, Vijayalakshmi said, “This is my last video and I have been in tremendous stress in the last four months because of Seeman and his partymen. I tried my level best to survive all these days because of my mother and sister, but I have been humiliated in the media by Harinadar recently.”

She added, “I would like to tell fans who are watching the video just because I was born in Karnataka, Seeman has tortured me a lot. As a woman, I have put up with it to my highest capabilities. I won’t be able handle the pressure anymore. I am from the Pillai community, the same community LTTE leader Prabhakaran is part of. Prabhakaran is the only reason Seeman is who he is today, but now he has been harassing me on social media continuously. You slut shamed me to make me feel the pain and it is up to me to decide on what to do after facing such insults from you. I request my fans not to let Seeman get away from this case. He should never get anticipatory bail. My death should be a big eye-opener to everyone. I don’t want to be a slave to anybody.”

Bengaluru, May 2: Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah have urged the state government to arrange free-transport facilities to those stranded labourers and their family members to return their native places.

In a statement issued here on Friday, the former chief minister criticised the State Government for having decided to collect bur fare from them, ''three-times more than the regular fare''.

Stating that the migrant labourers, who had been stranded ever since lockdown had been clamped in the entire country are not in a position to pay for their travel, Siddaramaiah urged the state government to treat them with human face.

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."
