Mangaluru, Sep 13: Amidst reports that the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee was gearing up to build a case against him for alleged anti-party activities, former union minister B Janardhana Poojary said that he was waiting for the “notice” to be issued, so as to give a “proper” reply.

Karnataka Congress in-charge Digvijaya Singh had recently hinted that action would be taken against Mr Poojary as well as another senior leader, H. Vishwanath, for “speaking against” the party and its chief minister.

Speaking to media persons in Manglauru on Monday Mr Poojary strongly justified his recent controversial statements and said that his “outbursts” were to protect the party and not tarnish its image. “Those who don't realize this fact are ignorant people,” he added.

Stating that he is afraid of any action to be taken in response to statements, Mr. Poojary said that many senior leaders, including himself, Oscar Fernandes, Dharam Singh, Mr.Vishwanath, M. Veerappa Moily and thousands of loyal party workers have built the Congress fortress in the state and they do not want to weaken it.

He said while a few of the “ignorant” people in the party are busy spreading hatred against him, he has been receiving positive feedback not only from the State, but also from abroad, with regard to his straight talk to save the party. “I am voicing my concern for the party workers and six crore people in the State,” he said.

Bengaluru, May 27: Former Karnataka chief minister and JD-S leader HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday said that the state government should withdraw the decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.

"The state government's decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Savarkar is a disgrace to those who have struggled for the country's prosperity. This doesn't give a good name to the state government," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"There are many great people who worked for the development of the country before and after independence. Their names could have been used for this bridge. Do other states name their bridges after our leaders? On behalf of the people of the state, I urge the state government to take a step back from this decision," he added.

The newly built Yelahanka bridge was named after Savarkar last year in a BBMP council meeting. Later it was sent to state government for approval. Tomorrow, the bridge is likely to be inaugurated for public use.

Bengaluru, Jun 8: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday fielded Eranna Kadadi and Ashok Gasti as it's candidates for the June 19 Rajya Sabha elections from Karnataka, ignoring the recommendations of the state BJP unit.

The state unit had recommended the names of Prabhakar Kore, Ramesh Katti and Prakash Shetty.

The names of the two candidates were announced in a party statement in Delhi.

The election is scheduled on June 19 to fill four Rajya Sabha seats from Karnataka, represented by Rajeev Gowda and BK Hariprasad of Congress, Prabhakar Kore of BJP and D Kupendra Reddy of JD(S) that will fall vacant on June 25, with their retirement.

June 9 is the last date for filing nominations. Party sources said both Kadadi and Gasti come from an RSS background.

Kadadi hails from Belagavi, while Gasti is a resident of Raichur.

The 54-year-old Eranna Kadadi started his active political career in 1989 and unsuccessfully contested the assembly election from Arambhavi constituency in 1994 on a BJP ticket.

He had also served as the Belagavi district Panchayat president in 2010.

Ashok Gasti is a lawyer by profession and former general secretary of the BJP's OBC Cell.

He is the former chairperson of the Backward Class Development Corporation.
