Mangaluru, Aug 13: In spite of his busy schedule in Uttar Pradesh and other poll-bound states, Bharatiya Janata Party national president Amit Shah will pay a visit to Managluru city and its communally sensitive suburbs on August 21.

amitEven though Dakshina Kannada district unit of BJP has claimed that Mr Shah's visit would be a part of the 70th Independence Day celebrations, it appears to be an attempt to intensify the strengthening process of the saffron party in the region aiming 2018 Assembly polls.

Interestingly, Mr Shah would address the people in two strategic and communally sensitive areas of Mangaluru constituency represented by popular Congress leader and food and civil supplies minister UT Khader.

BJP district president Sanjeeva Matandoor told media persons on Saturday that Mr Shah would arrive in the city in the wee hours. He would plant saplings near BJP office in the city and later flag off a 'Thiranga Yatra' at Mahaveer Circle.

Later, Mr Shah would visit Ullal and take part in Balidana Smarane, a programme to remember freedom fighters, who died in the struggle for Independence. He would also take part in a party workers' convention at Konaje, Mr Matandoor said adding that a detailed itinerary will be released once the programme schedule is finalised.

Union minister of statistics and programme implementation D V Sadananda Gowda, former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, other national and state leaders too will take part in the programme, he said.

I-Day celebrations

Mr Matandoor said that union minister of state for skill development and entrepreneurship (independent charge) Rajiv Pratap Rudy would participate in the 70th Independence Day celebrations of BJP district unit on August 15.

He said the party has planned various programmes in the district to celebrate 70th Independence Day as per directions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Tricolor will be unfurled at the party office in the city on August 15.

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.
