Davanagere, Jan 3: State BJP President B S Yeddyurappa alleged that MLC Basavaraj Horatti 'is indulging in selfish politics, by using the issue of separate religion status for Lingayats, to his advantage'.

Speaking at the Renuka Mandir, here in the city on Wednesday, Yeddyurappa said that Horatti was making confusing statements by stating that BJP MLAs support the demand for separate religion tag to Lingayats.

"As for the issue of granting a separate religion status to Lingayats we are bound to adhere to the views of the Akhila Bharata Veershaiva Mahasabha and those of the Siddaganga seer Shivakumar Swamiji," Yeddyurappa added.

"It is the work of the Congress to split society and castes. BJP MLAs are united in their views on the separate religion issue. Horatti is unnecessarily creating confusion," the former CM alleged.

Seers meet

MLC Basavaraj Horatti has fixed a date for the public debate on the issue of separate religion tag to Lingayats at the Rudrakshi Mutt, Belagavi.

A meeting of many mutt seers was held to decide whether to attend Horatti's meeting or not.

Rambapuri Peetha seer Prasanna Renuka Veerasomeshwara Swamiji, Srishaila mutt Channasiddarama Panditharadhya Swamiji, Balehosur Dingaleshwara Swamiji and others important seers participated.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 9: Kerala has sanctioned the setting up of 28 fast track courts for speedy trial in rape cases and other cases registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

State Social Justice and Women and Child Development Minister KK Shailaja said the state government has decided to set up POCSO courts to ensure that the culprits get the punishment they deserve. She said the decision has been taken in the wake of rising violence against women and children.

"The Union Law Ministry has recently sanctioned the opening of 28 POCSO fast track special courts in Kerala at the request of the state government. The project will be implemented jointly by the High Court, Law and Home Departments under the leadership of the Department of Women and Child Development," the Minister said.

Mandya, July 30: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday said Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has done a commendable job in tackling the Covid-19 situation and floods and that the question of changing the leadership does not arise.

Karnataka on Wednesday reported 5,503 new cases of Covid-19 and 92 related fatalities, taking the total number of infections to 1,12,504 and the death toll to 2,147.

Speaking to reporters here, Kateel said, "Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi has gone to Delhi to discuss the projects sanctioned to state with the central minister. There is no need to read too much into it."

Replying to a query on graft charges against the BSY government by the Congress, Kateel said, "Congress national president, state unit president are out on bail in graft cases . Why did a Congress leader who calls himself a bande (rock) has approached court seeking stay on CBI probe? Before making any allegations against the government, they should think about 'irregularities' in Indira Canteen and housing schemes," he charged.

Instead of instilling confidence and hope among the people in these testing times, the Congress is unnecessarily creating fear with petty politics, he told reporters in Shravanabelagola, Hassan district.

"The Yediyurappa-led BJP government is working day and night to tackle the Covid-19. Similarly, several non-governmental organisations have joined hands with the government in the fight against the virus. But, the Congress is only creating confusion by issuing baseless statements," Kateel said.
