Yeddy questions 'silence' of Sonia, Rahul on DySPs' 'suicide'

July 17, 2016

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka BJP today questioned Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi's "silence" over the alleged suicides of "honest" police officers in the state. yeddy

"I would like to ask Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, why you are silent on the death of DySPs? why are you not visiting Karnataka?" BJP Karnataka unit president B S Yeddyurappa said.

"You go to other states on minor issues, but 1,450 farmers have committed suicide, now police officials are committing suicide. If you are still not ready to visit the state and question your Chief Minister (Siddaramaiah), it is clear that you have come to a conclusion that there is no future for you here," he said addressing a BJP rally here.

Mangaluru DySP M K Ganapathy allegedly committed suicide at a lodge in Madikeri on July 7 and in a pre-death declaration blamed minister K J George and a senior official, which has triggered a huge political storm with the opposition demanding the resignation of the minister.

His death came two days after 35-year-old DySP of Chikkamagaluru, Kallappa Handibag, accused of kidnapping a person for ransom, was found hanging in his father-in-law's home at Murgod in Belagavi district. His family had alleged harassment and conspiracy by senior officials.

Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, who also spoke at the rally, criticised Siddarmaiah for not attending 'Inter-State Council' meeting chaired by the Prime Minister yesterday.

"The Chief Minister probably did not attend the meeting under the fear that he might have to face an embarrassment, if prime minister questions him about the series of suicides in the state," Gowda said.

BJP will continue its protest against the government on the suicide issue both inside and outside the legislature until the Minister named by the officer resigned, K S Eshwarappa, Leader of Opposition in the state Legislative Council told reporters in Shivamogga.

"Our protest will continue until George resigns. Until legislature session is on we will protest inside the House, after that we will continue our protest outside," he said.

BJP and JD(S) have been stalling proceedings in the Assembly demanding a CBI probe and resignation of George among others.

With the government refusing to budge and announcing a judicial probe, opposition parties have begun a day-night protest in both Legislative Assembly and Council.

Prior to committing suicide, Ganapathy has given an interview to a local TV channel, saying the minister and A M Prasad (IG-Intelligence) and Pranab Mohanty (IGP- Lokayukta) would be responsible "if anything happens to me."

Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa advertises Tier two and three cities

News Network

January 24,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 24: On the last day of his four-day trip to Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, chief minister BS Yediyurappa urged the global business community to invest in cities other than Bengaluru in the state.

On Thursday, while extending an invitation to entrepreneurs to participate in the Global Investors Meet in November in Bengaluru, Yediyurappa highlighted the “conducive investment climate” in the state vis-a-vis others by pointing to its 7% growth rate which is much higher than the national average of below 5%.

He also pointed to the state’s rich history and the fact that it is home to a number of desi MNCs such as Infosys, Biocon Wipro and Dynamatics. “At the same time, the state has one of the lowest unemployment rates compared to the national average,” Yediyurappa said.

In his address to heads of businesses, industries minister Jagadish Shettar also urged investors to consider Tier 2 and 3 cities for investment. “Land banks have been created in Tier 2 and 3 cities and regional connectivity has improved. Let us strive to place Karnataka on a highgrowth path,” Shettar said.

Lending a “helping hand”, Union minister Piyush Goyal, in his address, appealed to the community to invest in Karnataka, which “has a robust and congenial industrial atmosphere”, but also urged them to spread “tentacles” to all parts of the country.
