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, Jan 28: The state government is set to allow investors who bought farmland for industrial and other purposes to sell it off if they fail to use it within seven years. The new buyers, however, must utilise the land parcel for the same purpose for which it was allotted.

An amendment bill in this regard will be tabled during the joint session of the assembly, which begins on February 17.

Currently, investors remain tied to unused parcels. Law and parliamentary affairs minister JC Madhuswamy said the amendment to Section 109 of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, which deals with the purchase of farmland for non-agricultural purposes, would remove hurdles for disposal of such plots. “To prevent misuse of land, the bill makes it mandatory for the new buyer to utilise it for the purpose for which the land was purchased by the first investor,” he said.

The government will also table a bill which seeks to regulate the affairs of religious and educational trusts. It will empower the government to intervene in the affairs of the trusts when irregularities come to light.

“Currently, the government has no role to play when allegations of irregularities and mismanagement crop up against trustees. The bill seeks to address this,” Madhuswamy said. He clarified the government didn’t want to interfere in trusts’ affairs. But some issues, he added, were of concern: trustees illegally selling off the trust property.
