Bengaluru, Dec 8: Karnataka BJP Yuva Morcha president Pratap Simha’s recent viral video wherein he had revealed the national BJP chief supremo Amit Shah’s order to carry out violent protests in poll-bond state has embarrassed the party. On the other hand Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa has openly denied Simha’s claims.

The development has also resulted in leaders of the party airing varied views on the issue. It all began with Simha, hosting a video on his Facebook page, where among others he states that he will be intensifying his fight against Congress on the instruction of Shah.

"Shah during the visit to Bengaluru in August asked us (Yuva Morcha) to list out the agitations against the Congress government during the last four years. He asked us how many times have we faced lathi charge or escaped tear gas shells, indicating that we stage agitations with such intensity to draw the ire of the police ," Simha, who is also Mysore-Kodagu MP, states in the video.

A day later Simha, rammed his car into a police barricade after he was prevented to participate in Hanuma Jayanthi function in Hunsur in Mysuru district.

Reacting to the development, Yeddyurappa had recently said, "Shah had only said there should be more zeal in the protests but had never mentioned one should be breaking the law. He (Simha) is unnecessarily dragging Shah's name into all this".

Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Jagadish Shettar said he had not seen Simha's video and it will be inappropriate to comment. "Breaking the law during protest has never been the policy of the party," he said.

Union Statistics and Programme Implementation Minister D V Sadananda Gowda said "Amit Shah is our supreme boss and we have to abide by his directions. But, does law provide for holding up an MP for 13 hours in a police van?" he asked referring to Simha's arrest.

Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council K S Eshwarappa said Shah had asked the party leaders to take on the ruling Congress. "Police gives permission for processions for Muslims but deny them to Hindus. This is unfair," he said.

Former Home Minister R Ashoka said it is a sensitive matter and will not like to comment. "Our aggressive attitude is not against the police," he said.

I have a simple question to the MP, Pratap. Why did you not think of walking in the direction of Hunsur from the Bilikere junction when your car was stopped? This would have put the police in very tight situation. Either they had to follow you on foot or arrest you there itself. You could have scored a point on them Just a instant Gandhi thinking. May be useful in future.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday held a meeting with the Ministers-in-charge of eight zones to take stock of the COVID-19 situation and its management in Bengaluru.

Yediyurappa suggested that it should be ensured that both COVID-19 and other patients get timely treatment. He advised home quarantine for asymptomatic patients and hospitals and COVID Care Centers would provide treatment for those who are severely symptomatic.

He said, Rapid Antigen Testing should be carried out for those who died in the hospital, for immediate delivery of the corpse for funeral arrangements. He also said to conduct Rapid Antigen Test for those who have died at home and take action for the funeral of the dead.

The chief minister said, lockdown is not a solution to COVID-19 control, he made it clear that the government has no plans to continue with the lockdown in Bengaluru.

"To fill the shortage of doctors, the process of filling vacancies is ongoing," he said.

"Volunteers are identified and ambulances are assigned to each ward.  Strict action should be taken if private hospitals do not provide beds to patients," the Chief Minister said.

The chief minister said volunteers and nodal officers would be appointed to provide information on the enrollment and availability of beds to COVID-19 infected persons in private hospitals.

"Welfare pavilions and lodges have been identified in each ward, suggesting the use of quarters to quarantine those who do not have separate rooms," the Chief Minister said.

He said, allocate bed within two hours of the result of the test and the ambulance must take action to take the person to the hospital. The Chief Minister suggested that the system be decentralised, zoned, and monitored.
