Mangaluru, Jul 26: The Dakshina Kannada district unit of Aam Aadmi Party has decided to contest the next Mangaluru City Corporation election.

Rajendra Kumar, an office bearer of AAP, said that his party was eager to address the age-old problems of the city. “There are garbage, stink and diseases everywhere. Roads not asphalted or concretised for decades. Those asphalted/concretised ones lost their surface in just few weeks due to contractor-corporator greed and corruption. Drains are not done despite big promises, proving hazardous to commuters. Communal tensions increasing,” he said and asserted that the civic body needs an overhaul.

“Governments after governments increase taxes and introduce new ones burdening the common man, but do not provide basic amenities to the people. As if that was not enough, the peaceful co-existence of people of different faiths and castes is increasingly being compromised by sowing the seeds of communal discord and disharmony”

He said that AAP will field 60 honest and caring citizen of Mangaluru to be your representatives in the City Corporation. And they will bring change. Complete change to gain back past glory of the city, which was once peaceful, wise, enterprising and naturally wealthy region.

He recalled that it was in Mangaluru the first public meeting of AAP outside Delhi was held in February 2013, well before the first election success AAP achieved in Delhi in November 2013.

“The party is now pleased to offer a true alternative from all the corrupt and communal political parties, and to unite all Mangalureans as one strong, intelligent community, again to achieve self-sustenance and total development by keeping the interests of its people and environment well protected at all times,” he said.

Jnanasagar Rai, Abdul Lateef, Kabir Katipalla, Swibert D’souza, Arjun Mascarenhas were present at the press meet.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa is facing major dissent within the party and the BJP MLAs held a meeting on Tuesday night at former Chief Minister Jagdish Shettar's residence to discuss the functioning of Yediyurappa-led government, said BJP sources.

According to BJP sources, some of the unhappy BJP leaders and MLAs met last night at Shetter's place and expressed that they are not satisfied with Yediyurappa's leadership.

Last night's meeting shows that party leaders are looking to bring down Yediyurappa from the Chief Minister's post by sending a clear message to the high command that Yediyurappa is incapable of continuing as the CM, said BJP sources.

Other sources in BJP have also asserted that BJP leadership in Karnataka is looking for a "leader" who can lead the party in upcoming elections which is going to be held after three years. At this point of time, it's crucial for BJP to promote second-line leadership.

Meanwhile, a letter is being circulated in the BJP party forum and over social media against Chief Minister Yediyurappa's leadership.

It looks like the same team which is unhappy with Yediyurappa's leadership is trying to convey the same message to their high command. The letter which is being circulated says to be written by one of these leaders' groups against Yediyurappa and his son Vijayendra.

On this, Congress leader Ramalinga Reddy told media, "Maybe the letter is written by the same MLAs because after the expansion of Karnataka cabinet so many leaders from BJP were kept out."

"There is a lot of discontent among BJP MLAs that the ones who have toiled for the party day and night have been neglected from the cabinet expansion. This will definitely result in destabilisation in the government," said Eshwar Khandre, KPCC Working President.

Now party high command needs to look into Karnataka leadership to manage the government in the state.

"Now BJP leadership in Karnataka and Delhi need to look into the matter and need to solve the issue after cabinet expansion," said a BJP leader.
