Cong-JD(S) government's fall imminent after LS polls: Yeddyurappa

Bengaluru, May 18: Describing the Congress-JD(S) coalition dispensation in Karnataka as a hub of infighting and confusion, BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa on Friday expressed doubts over the government's continuation after the Lok Sabha elections.

The BJP leader made the remark in Hubballi when asked about the Twitter war between chief minister H D Kumaraswamy and former chief minister Siddaramaiah on Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge becoming the chief minister.

Kumaraswamy's remark that Kharge should have been offered the top post long ago had triggered a twitter debate between him and Siddaramaiah, who is also the ruling coalition coordination committee chief.

In response to Kumaraswamy, Siddaramaiah had suggested that Kumaraswamys elder brother H D Revanna too was quite capable to lead the state as chief minister.

Yeddyurappa said, "Congress and JD(S) have become a hub of squabbling. What will people be thinking when Siddaramaiah says Revanna should be the chief minister and then Kumaraswamy counters him that Kharge should have been the chief minister... It is like betraying the masses."

The BJP leader was confident that the people of Kundgol and Chincholi would teach the two parties a befitting lesson for "betraying" them and creating confusion.

To a question on the next chief minister, Yeddyurappa said, "The question will arise when the government survives. Future depends on the results of Lok Sabha election and the two bypolls (Chincholi and Kundgol assembly segments).

After the election there will be upheaval in politics (in Karnataka). I dont think Congress and JD(S) will continue for long in the government."

Predicting BJP's victory in the Lok Sabha election, Yeddyurappa said Narendra Modiwould return as prime minister again and the election results will have a bearing on Karnataka.

He said he would wait and watch what changes the Lok Sabha elections would usher in.

"We are going to win about 280 to 290 seats (in Lok Sabha). Narendra Modi will 100 per cent become prime minister again. We have the support of various political parties. So, not a single seat we will lose....," the BJP leader said.

The accused has been absconding ever since a case under POCSO Act was registered against him a year ago.

However acting on a tip off, the Kasaragod police arrested him at Mangalore Airport recently and was produced before the Court and was remanded to judicial custody.

Bengaluru, Jun 30: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday demanded setting up of an all-party committee to monitor treatment-related issues in hospitals and said there are allegations of "corruption and nepotism" in the management of COVID-19 treatment.

Siddaramaiah said in a tweet that Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa should immediately form all-party monitoring committee.

"This is very much needed to increase public confidence in the backdrop of several complaints," he said.
"There are allegations of corruption and nepotism in the management of COVID-19 treatment. It is need of the hour to manage this unprecedented health crisis with public safety as the only objective," he said in another tweet.

He urged the Chief Minister to make the treatment protocol clear to the patients and instil hope. "Do not keep them in dark," he said.

The senior Congress leader also urged the Chief Minister to extend insurance and other benefits to private hospital doctors, nurses and support staff.
Karnataka has reported a total of 14,295 COVID-19 cases.
