Amit Shah warns Karnataka BJP against factional feuds, exhorts to tackle Cong

Bengaluru, Aug 13: BJP National president Amit Shah on Saturday issued a stern warning against factional feuds within the state unit and directed partymen to focus on tackling the ruling Congress on charges of corruption and caste polarisation ommunities in the run up to the assembly election next year.

Shah, who arrived in Bengaluru in the morning on a three-day visit to galvanise the state unit for the polls, cracked the whip on the warring factions and told them to be loyal to the party.

“The party will not tolerate any kind of indiscipline. All the functionaries should toe the party line and should work as one family,” he told the state core committee members comprising senior state unit leaders, including state president B S Yeddyurappa and his bete noire K S Eshwarappa.

Shah refused to entertain backbiting. Eshwarappa’s camp followers had planned to complain against Yeddyurappa’s style of functioning.

‘Don’t worry’

When some state office-bearers sought to know the steps taken to end the feud, Shah said: “We will take care of it, don’t worry. Focus on strengthening the party at booth level.”

He is said to have expressed his strong displeasure at the state leadership for not effectively taking on the state government on corruption.

He was obviously targeting the state BJP for not effectively putting the government on the mat during the Income Tax raids on Energy minister D K Shivakumar recently.

Bengaluru, Jun 23: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday demanded that Bengaluru should be put under lockdown for 20 days to contain the spread of coronavirus, the cases of which have risen sharply recently.

 “Stop playing with people's lives. There’s no use in sealing off only some areas. If the people of Bengaluru must live, then a lockdown of at least 20 days is needed. Otherwise, Bengaluru will become another Brazil,” Kumaraswamy said in a tweet. “People’s health is more important, not economy.”

The JD(S) leader was reacting to the BJP government's decision to impose an area-wide lockdown in Chickpet, KR Market, Kalasipalyam and Chamarajpet while streets will be sealed off in VV Puram, Siddapura, Yelahanka, Vidyaranyapura and Chickpet.

Bengaluru has witnessed a huge spike in its Covid-19 tally; the city currently has at least 919 active cases. This has sparked off fears that the contagion might have reached the community.

Kumaraswamy has also demanded welfare measures for the poor. “The poor and the labourers should be given ration immediately. The state’s 50 lakh working class should get ₹5,000 each. The aid already announced by the government hasn’t reached drivers, weavers, Madiwalas and other communities,” he said, adding that mere announcements of a package won’t be enough and “it has to be implemented.”
