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.

Bengaluru, Jun 18: The Karnataka police has arrested a German national wanted for kidnapping and causing bodily harm to a person in his home country, an official said on Wednesday. The person was also found to be overstaying on an expired visa, which police said that it appeared that the visa had been tampered with to look more current.

"On receipt of credible information by the CID Interpol Division officers, the Red Corner Notice subject, the German national Alexander Bruno Wehnelt, was traced at Hulimangala village," a police official told media persons.

Hulimangala is on the outskirts of Bengaluru city.

Alexander, 55, escaped from Germany and took shelter in Bengaluru.

The Interpol Division of CBI NCB (Central Bureau of Intelligence, Narcotics Control Bureau) in New Delhi had communicated to the Interpol liaison officer in Karnataka's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) about Alexander, directing extensive search measures to trace the criminal at large.

The Narcotics Control Bureau of Wiesbaden in Germany was on the hunt for Wehnelt for the crimes he committed in 2015, and have finally found him five years later.

"A special team of officers was constituted by the CID - Interpol division under the supervision of ADGP (Additional Director General of Police) B. Dayananda and the Interpol liaison officer and efforts were made to trace the subject," said the official.

On Monday, the police received credible information leading to his arrest.

"It was learnt that his visa had expired in 2016 and he tried to show a visa which was issued in December 2019 which had expired on Saturday, June 13," said the official.

Prima facie, it appeared that Alexander had tampered with his visa and the police are probing on that front as well.

He was handed over to Hebbagodi Police Station in Bengaluru Urban, for his overstay and a criminal case has been registered against him, under the Foreigners Act.
