Mangaluru, Aug 12: Congress veteran B Janardhana Poojary has warned chief minister Siddaramaiah against neglecting BJP supremo Amit Shah’s strategies for upcoming assembly polls.

Speaking to media persons here on Saturday, the former union minister said that CM should wake up from and tender his resignation. 

“Siddaramaiah should realise that Amit Shah has come to the State to unseat the former. The visit of BJP chief was a matter of concern for the Congress and more so Siddaramaiah. Wherever Shah has toured, the ruling party’s Chief Minister has been unseated,” Poojary said.

He said that in spite of the severe drought, Siddaramaiah has so far not found time to tour the affected regions of the State. “I am really shocked by his recent statement on drought following a visit to an affected place.”

Poojary also said that Siddaramaiah should pave way for a Dalit leader or D.K. Shivakumar to become Chief Minister. The party high command has a good opinion of Mr. Shivakumar, who has stood by the party during difficult times. “Both Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have appreciated Mr. Shivakumar,” he said and added that Mr. Shivakumar would become the Chief Minister in the coming days.

Poojary said the ongoing investigation by the Income Tax department on the assets of Mr. Shivakumar will not come in the way of his becoming the Chief Minister.

Dammam, May 29: A woman hailing from Mangaluru, who was waiting for repatriation amidst coronavirus lockdown in Saudi Arabia, passed away yesterday after a brief illness.

The deceased has been identified as Lateefa (55), wife of Abdul Azeez, a resident of Angaragundi near Baikampady on the outskirts of the city.

She had flown to Saudi Arabia in November 2019 along with her husband to spend some time with their NRI son in Dammam. They were supposed to return in April this year.

After the sudden cancellation of regular flights due to lockdown, they were waiting for the repatriation flights from Dammam to Mangaluru or Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, Lateefa’s health condition worsened and she was hospitalised. She passed away on Thursday without responding to any treatment. Last rites are expected to take place in Dammam.

Chamrajnagar, May 30: Karnataka Cabinet Minister Ramesh Jarakiholi said on Friday that over22 Congress MLAs were in touch with him and he can bring five of them.

"More than 22 Congress MLAs are in contact with me and if the high commands wants, I can bring five of them tomorrow," Jarakiholi told reporters.

Replying on speculation that some MLAs in BJP are not happy and want to join the Congress, he said, "Congress is a sinking boat and nobody wants to go to Congress now."

Meanwhile, sources in BJP have said that some party leaders are not happy including Basangouda Ramangouda Patil Yatnal.

Basvanagowda Patil said earlier this week that "BS Yediyurappa is not his CM, he is the CM of Karnataka. My leaders are Narendra Modi and JP Nadda."

The sources also said that other close aides of Yeddyurappa like Umesh Katti and Murugesh Nirani are no longer happy with him as they are yet to be included in the state cabinet.

The sources said Nirani has stood with Yeddyurappa but has not been included in the cabinet. There is speculation that several MLAs are in touch with Nirani.

Sources said Nirani, Umesh Katti, Basvanagowda Patil and several other leaders held a meeting in an undisclosed location.

Congress leader DK Suresh said the Congress has no role in the developments in BJP. "Yeddyurappa government will be brought down by their own MLAs. Congress has no role in it," he said.
