Bengaluru, Sept 13: In the wake of the political retaliation threat issued by the Vokkaligas against the Bharatiya Janata Party following the arrest of community stalwart D K Shivakumar by the Enforcement Directorate, the Karnataka state government led by the saffron party has decided to construct a massive statue of Bengaluru founder Kempegowda near the city's international airport.

The move is apparently aimed at appeasing the Vokkaliga community which has threatened to teach a lesson to BJP in coming days for targeting the community leaders through the agencies of union government. On Friday morning, citizens woke up to an article authored by Yediyurappa published in several Kannada dailies through which he announced his plans.

"The Karnataka government has resolved to make Kempegowda immortal. The Kempegowda Development Authority had remained as a mere announcement. The previous governments gave nothing for this, but our government has decided to reconstitute it and give it Rs 100 crore," Yediyurappa wrote.

"Also, the government has decided to establish a massive statue of Kempegowda in front of the Kempegowda International Airport. This will not be mere symbolism, but will also be a collective that will showcase Kempegowda's history and culture. The infrastructure necessary will be provided here to attract tourists who can learn more about Kempegowda. The literature on Kempegowda's vision for Bengaluru will be brought out in Kannada and English," the CM wrote, adding that the Authority had been tasked with coming out with a sound-and-light show to depict Kempegowda as the architect of modern Bengaluru.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that the "RSS needs to be defeated to save the country" and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are "destroying the nation".

Kharge was speaking at a KPCC program where DK Shivakumar took charge as state Congress president.

He said that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are not ready to take accountability for any issues including China, and are instead blaming Rajiv Gandhi Foundation of getting funds from China.

"Rajiv Gandhi foundation utilized funds for the development of the nation and for the betterment of the downtrodden people," Kharge said.

"Prime Minister Modi and Shah both are destroying the economy of the nation, and their policies and plans are the reason for increasing COVID-19 situation in India," he said.

"Prime Minister and Amit Shah never listen to Opposition parties, instead they plan something and their policies are the reason for MSME losses and job losses in the country," he added.
