BSY skirts queries on Tipu Jayanti, leaves opposition, Siddaramaiah fuming

Agencies

August 1, 2019

Bengaluru, Aug 1: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday left the Congressfuming after he evaded questions on the reasons behind his cancelling Tipu Jayanti celebrations. Yediyurappa chose to walk away even as opposition leader Siddaramaiah continued to raise the issue.

On a day when the new speaker, Vishveshwar Hegde Kageri, took charge of the assembly unopposed, the Congress was ready to use the opportunity to raise the Tipu Jayanti issue. However, Yediyurappa chose to turn a deaf ear to the former CM, who kept asking: “Yediyurappa avare, kuthkoli bari aidhu nimsha... yen agala,” (Yediyurappa please sit for five minutes, nothing will happen). The CM, however, folded his hands, asked Siddaramaiah to excuse him and walked out of the assembly.

At the start of the session, Yediyurappa had said he would be leaving for Chikkamagaluru to attend the funeral of coffee baron VG Siddhartha. Facing his first test as the new speaker, Kageri tried to “defend” the government. Kageri said the CM had already made known his intention to leave the house early and neither Siddaramaiah nor the Congress had sent a notice to deliberate on an issue outside the day’s agenda.

Siddaramaiah, however, countered: “There is no written rule that prior notice should be submitted to the speaker for issues to be raised in the house. Besides, I have no objection to the CM leaving. But where is the government? There is no council of ministers and all the BJP leaders are only legislators; there is no minister to attend to the opposition’s complaint on why Tipu Jayanti has been cancelled. You should have instructed the CM to stay back and listen to us...”. However, by then, Kageri decided to adjourn the house sine die.

Ramesh Kumar rejoins Congress

Ramesh Kumar, who quit the Congress “on principle” after becoming speaker in 2017, rejoined the party. He said he’ll leave it to the people to judge his decision to disqualify 17 former Congress-JD(S) MLAs.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

Young energetic Muslim brothers present in Dk ,please note we need young leaders to lead us . Wake up ... and take over .

We respect ur decision sir.

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims
