BJP will win 150 seats in next assembly polls; I will be CM: Yeddyurappa

April 10, 2016

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.

News Network

March 30,2020

Kochi, Mar 30: Kerala High Court, while hearing a petition filed against Karnataka's decision to block the border with Kerala, on Monday said that no lives should not be lost in the name of fighting coronavirus.

Kerala High Court also said that "the current problem should be resolved amicably. Both the Union government and the Karnataka government should rise to the occasion."
The Central government has informed Kerala High Court that the movement of goods and medical services qualify under essential services, which is permitted despite the lockdown, and added that directions have been issued to give priority to the movement of such goods and services.
Meanwhile, the Karnataka government has sought a day's time to clarify their stand.

The matter will be taken up for further hearing via video conference tomorrow.
Kerala government has submitted that the action of Karnataka government to close the border is illegal as all the national highways in the country come under the jurisdiction of the National Highway Authority.

Meanwhile, Congress MP Rajmohan Unnithan has also approached the Supreme Court seeking directions to open the Karnataka-Kerala border to allow movement of ambulances and other emergency vehicles for the transport of essential items to Kerala.

At least four persons have suffered injuries in the mishap involving a Maruti Alto and a Renault Duster. The condition of two is said to be extremely critical. The other two have suffered minor injuries.

The accident took place when the driver of the speeding Alto which was heading towards Kasaragod from Udupi lost control over his vehicle.

Towards the end of the flyover, car rammed into the divider and then hit the ill-fated Renault Duster which was coming from the opposite direction. The Alto then fell off the bridge.

The accident caused traffic jam on the highway for some time. The flyover was inaugurated a week ago, after a decade long wait.
