Bengaluru, Apr 14: Former Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa today assumed charge as state BJP President and set an ambitious target of having an absolute majority by winning 150 seats in the 224-member House in the 2018 Assembly polls.

Taking over the mantle of Presidentship for the fourth time, he termed the Congress a "sinking ship" and asked his party men to work hard to realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream of "Congress-free India" by achieving the goal of "Congress-free Karnataka".

"I assure you, I have no personal matters here on...I will not let you sit silent, we all party workers have to put in our best efforts. At present we have 47 MLAs, we have to make it 150," Yeddyurappa, known for his combative style of leadership, said.

Speaking at a party event organised to commemorate 125th birth anniversary of B R Ambedkar after assuming charge, he said in nine districts, BJP has no prominence, in 13 districts it has one MLA and in Bengaluru and Belagavi 21 MLAs.

"Think about it, where we are and where we have to reach...," said Yeddyurappa, who was largely credited for having brought BJP to power in 2008, the party's first government in the South.

The Lingayat strongman, whose appointment was announced by the party leadership on April 8, took charge from Prahlad Joshi, a Lok Sabha member, in the presence of Union ministers Ananth Kumar and Siddeshwar, party's state in charge Muralidhar Rao, Opposition Leader Jagadish Shettar and other state leaders.

Yeddyurappa alleged that Sangh Parivar workers were being killed in Kerala and said, "There is not even a single MLA but despite all this, best efforts are being put in to strengthen the organisation. We will have to take Kerala as an example."

"There is no Kerala-like situation in any of our districts. If we make up our mind and put in efforts and work together we can reach our goal," he added.

Yeddyurappa was forced to resign as Chief Minister in 2011 over graft charges, following which he quit the party to form his own outfit, Karnataka Janata Party, which failed to make a mark except to cause damage to BJP in 2013 polls.

He returned to BJP following the announcement of Modi as party's prime ministerial candidate ahead of 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

Yeddyurappa announced that BJP would contest all 224 assembly seats and said, "There is not much time...Under collective leadership we will work in unity to strengthen the party."

While listing the "failures" of Siddaramaiah-led Congress government, he said, "We will have to make people aware of achievements and programmes of the central government."

Congratulating Yeddyurappa, outgoing President Joshi said his assuming charge on the birth anniversary of Ambedkar was a "good sign...Let us all pledge ourselves to work hard to bring the party back to power under Yeddyurappa's leadership".

Recalling Yeddyurappa's "struggle" for justice for downtrodden and bonded laborers during his early days of politics in Shivamogga, Union Minister Ananth Kumar said it is befitting that he is assuming charge today.

Calling for uprooting of Congress from Karnataka, Muralidhar Rao said under Yedyurappa's leadership, there is no other goal or political objective other than making Karnataka free from Congress' "misrule...We are ready for the fight". Rao also congratulated Joshi for providing "able" leadership to the party during his tenure.

Sirsi, May 3: A group of 19 students from the district were on Saturday safety brought back to Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) at Malagi in Mundgod taluk by special buses from Madhya Pradesh.

The students were admitted to the JNV, Junapani, Bhopal district, for class 9 this academic year. They were kept at a hostel since March 22.

They could not leave for the state as train services were suspended before they were ready for the travel. Hence, they were kept at the local hostel.

Based on requests by parents, Labour Minister Shivaram Hebbar, directed the chief secretary to get in touch with the Madhya Pradesh government to bring back the students.

Hebbar, who visited the JNV, said that the students would be sent to their homes in two days after medical tests.

According to the JNV authorities, the decision was taken to bring back the students as their parents were worried. The students were safe at the JNV, Junapani and all facilities were provided to them at the hostel.

Star Air is a known name in the Indian aviation industry that is recognized for its unmatched safety, comfort, and on-time performance records.

It was praised in the past for connecting the unconnected by commencing commercial flight services to many Tier-II and Tier-III cities in India that were not graced with airline services before.

And now, after gaining the trust of over 1,00,000 customers from all across India and serving countless prominent VIP's, it has launched its charter service business.

It holds a valid license for charter service business and operates as per the protocols defined by the DGCA. The company has a team of experienced pilots, technicians, and staff that assures one gets a best-in-class charter service with complete safety and without any hassles.

"We are delighted to expand our airline operations by opening this private charter services. Like our scheduled commercial airline services, we are offering a world-class charter service keeping your comfort, safety, and overall flying experience in mind, said Sanjay Ghodawat, Chairman - Star Air.
