Bengaluru, Apr 10: Former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa on Saturday said that he would be the “next Chief Minister of Karnataka” with the party confident of winning 150 seats in the 2018 Assembly polls.

Speaking to media persons at his Dollars Colony residence in Bengaluru, he said it was people of the state who wanted him to head the state.

Mr. Yeddyurappa, who occupied the coveted post of the party chief for the fourth time, refuted the argument that there was delay in his appointment because of internal differences. “The term of previous president Prahlad Joshi ended only ten days ago and it took some time for the party leadership to fill that post,” he added.

People in the state wanted Mr. Yeddyurappa to head the party in the State and “honouring their sentiments”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Party's chief Amith Shah had handed over the responsibility of strengthening the party in the State, he said. “I have a responsibility to live up to their expectation,” he added. “They have exonerated all the mistakes committed by me and given a huge responsibility.”

On whether he was inevitable for the party at this juncture, Mr. Yeddyurappa said there were many senior and experienced leaders in the party. “But, Central leadership felt my necessity at the juncture and they thought I can shoulder the responsibility of strengthening the party,” he explained.

On his immediate priority, Mr. Yeddyurappa said it was “freeing Karnataka from Congress.” Mr. Siddaramaiah was working as “dictator” instead of addressing the issues, he said, focusing on expanding his cabinet and filling posts of boards and corporations.

Despite opposition by the senior party leaders including former Chief Minister S.M. Krishna and senior party leader Janardhana Poojary, Mr. Siddaraaiah refused disband Anti Corruption Bureau, he formed overnight.

To free Karnataka from Congress, we will work as a team. “You have seen the response of the central ministers from Karnataka and senior party leaders in the state, who came here. We all join our hands in achieving the goal of bringing party to power in the State,” he explained.

He said that he would officially take charge as the party state head on April 15 and start touring the drought hit areas from 23. After taking stock of the situation, he along with other leaders, chalk out plan of action to fight against the ruling Congress in Karnataka.

Bengaluru, Apr 7: Former Minister and Leader of the Opposition Siddaramiah on Tuesday termed the shutting by private clinics in the state by doctors as an 'inhuman act'.

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, the Congress leader said due to the fear of Novel Coronavirus, the doctors have closed their private clinics, which was against their profession.

This has affected the people, especially those, who are suffering from other deceases. He urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to intervene and resolve the issue immediately.

Despite the government instructions not to close down their clinics, the doctors have not been responding positively, Mr Siddaramaiah noted.

In this connection, the government should act seriously and give necessary warning to the doctors, to either open their clinics to serve the people, or face action, he added.

Bengaluru, Apr 14: The Congress in Karnataka on Tuesday welcomed the extention of the COVID-19 lockdown till May 3, though it flayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not announcing any programme to support the slowed down economy.

Reacting to the lockdown extension, Congress president D K Shivakumar said it was much needed to control the virus but expressed his displeasure for not offering any relief measure to uplift the economy which is witnessing slump.

"We had expectation that some package would be offered but that was not done. The manufacturing sector, service sector, agriculture sector and even the medical sector was looking for some relief but that was not the talking point of the Prime Minister," Shivakumar told reporters.

However, he maintained that the party would cooperate with the Centre in its fight against COVID-19.

Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah said he was "disappointed" that there was no programme announced to improve the economy, which is at the lowest level in 30 years.

"The economy has collapsed. Never ever in 30 years it had witnessed such a downfall. Industries are closing down.

Agriculture in bad shape. poeple have no money. Villages are in distress," the former chief minister said.

He opined that Modi should have make some announcement with regard to economic programmes and assistance to the weaker section.

"Labourers today are on the streets. Their programmes do not touch them. People had lots of expectations which are now meaningless," Siddaramaiah said.

However, he underlined that he does not oppose the lockdown and appealed to the people to support it wholeheartedly.
