Mangaluru, Jun 21: Leaders of Billva community have threatened the Congress party that it would bay a heavy price for neglecting their leaders during recent Cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka under the leadership of chief minister Siddaramaiah.

1 leaders

Rashtriya Billavara Mahamandal, a powerful body of the Billava community on Tuesday accused the Congress of 'using and throwing' the community for narrow political gains. “Is there a conspiracy in play to ensure Billava Mukt Congress' (Billava free Congress),” asked Harikrishna Bantwal, spokesperson of the Mahamandal.

Speaking to reporters here, Mr Bantwal took umbrage to sacking of Vinay Kumar Sorake from the cabinet and not giving representation Billava community in ministerial reshuffle.

“If the CM felt that Vinay Kumar Sorake was not good enough, he had a choice of other senior MLAs from Billava community including Vasanth Bangera from Belthangady and Gopal Poojary from Baindoor, who could be included in the cabinet. Both Vasanth Bangera and Gopal Poojary are senior MLAs and are capable to become ministers in their own individual right,” he said.

He went on to claim that the party had ignored even Janardhan Poojary, the former union minister. “In fact Poojary should have been the choice of Congress for recent Rajya Sabha polls instead of Oscar Fernandes, who is damaging the party's interest,” he said.

It is leaders such as Oscar who are damaging party's interest and efforts are on to sideline a senior Billava leader Janardhan Poojary, who ideally should have been party's choice for RS polls," he added.

Bengaluru, Jan 22: Karnataka home minister Basavaraj Bommai today refused to respond when a journalist asked him why Aditya Rao, who was arrested on charge of planting bomb at Mangaluru International Airport, can’t be called a terrorist.

Responding to another query of another journalist on the sidelines of a private program, here, Mr Bommai said all airports in the state would soon have bomb disposal squads.

"After the Mangaluru airport bomb incident, a thought has been given to establishing bomb disposal squads near airports in the state. Hubballi and Kalburgi airports too will have them," he said.

He said, Aditya Rao resident of Udupi who has been in a frustrated state for not getting employment and earlier too arrested for hoax calls surrendered at the DGP office in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The Mangaluru police will take him into custody for investigations, he added.

Despite the suspect surrendering to the police, investigations into the case will continue, he said.

He further added, 'Irrespective of the organisations the accused belongs to, he will be punished.”

Explosives used in the Mangaluru airport bomb have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis and investigation. National Security Guards too were collecting details, he stated.

He then went on to slam Opposition parties over Mangaluru Airport bomb incident. “State police, on getting information about the suspected bag, had acted swiftly and diffused it. The opposition has resorted to politics and using the incident to appease minorities,” he said.

He also termed that the statements made by the opposition would instigate anti-national elements.
