Mysuru, Jan 15: Karnataka BJP president and former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa is highly confident of forming a BJP government in the state soon, according a former minister and present MLA from Mysuru region.

“It is possible to topple the JD(S)-Congress coalition government. But, as on Tuesday afternoon, nothing is concrete. If nothing happens by evening, it is over,” the MLA was quoted as saying by a newspaper on condition of anonymity.

“Yesterday, we had left for New Delhi in the noon. We had plans to visit the ailing seer of Siddaganga mutt Shivakumara Swami. But suddenly, we were diverted to the resort. Our routine is dull. The resort is in a village. Even if we go out, there is nothing. I am engaged in monitoring the pending and ongoing works in my constituency and district. Some of the MLAs are just chatting and are whiling away their time,” he said.

He said that the stay is comfortable, but confinement is difficult even under comforts. “It is unfortunate that the BJP could not come to power despite emerging as the single largest party. But, the hardships the MLAs have to undergo to come to power is worrisome. It is going to be tight rope balancing, even if Yeddyurappa becomes chief minister,” he said.

Yudiyurappa , now 76, if he wait five years to complete means 81, even if BJP gets majority after five years his health condition may not allow to lead the govt.... probably this created more disturbance to his mind to do all these dramas.

New Delhi, Apr 27: Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has said the monthlong ongoing lockdown has yielded positive results and that the country has managed to save “thousands of lives”.

Modi, who had a videoconference with various heads of the states on Monday, said the impact of the coronavirus, however, will remain visible in the coming months, according to a press statement released by his office. On the issue of getting back Indians who are overseas, the Prime Minister said that this has to be done keeping in mind the fact that they don’t get inconvenienced and their families are not under any risk.

During the meeting with state heads, Modi advocated for social distancing of at least 6 feet and the use of face masks as a rapid response to tackle COVID-19.

He said that states should put their efforts of converting hotspots, or red zones, into “orange and thereafter green zones”.

India last week eased the lockdown by allowing shops to reopen and manufacturing and farming activities to resume in rural areas to help millions of poor, daily-wage earners. But the economic costs of the nationwide lockdown continue to mount in a country of 1.3 billion people.

Modi, who put India under a strict lockdown on March 25, did not say if the lockdown restrictions will extend after May 3.

India has confirmed over 27,000 cases of the coronavirus, including 872 deaths.
