Dharwad, May 7: It is Congressleaders who are giving deadlines for the fall of the coalition government in the state and BJP has nothing to do with it, said former chief minister Jagadish Shettar.

Speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said forest minister Satish Jarkiholi had stated that the coalition government would not survive if Narendra Modi becomes the Prime Minister again after May 23. “The survival of the coalition government is in the hands of Congress and JD(S). Congress and JD(S) leaders are engaged in back stabbing each other. As a result, this government will fall after May 23 and Yeddyurappa will become the chief minister. Then Siddaramaiah and Rahul Gandhi will become mad,” Shettar said.

Stating that BJP had not tried to form a government, Shettar said leaders of the coalition parties are unhappy over the statements made by Satish and Ramesh Jarkiholi and G T Devegowda. “Congress should take a call on Ramesh Jarkiholi’s threat of quitting the party. Ramesh is not in touch with us” Shettar said.

He expressed confidence that BJP will win 23 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka and more than 300 in the country. “There was no discussion in the party about appointing a president of state unit of the party. Everyone here will abide by the decision of the top leaders,” he added.

Belgaum, Mar 30: As many as 2442 labourers hailing from Karnataka have been brought back in 62 buses by the State government from Maharashtra on Sunday, in the backdrop of nation-wide lockdown following COVID-19 outbreak.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday urged migrant labourers not to leave the State owing to the nationwide lockdown and assured that the Maharashtra government will look after their interests.

Hundreds of migrants, a majority of whom are daily wage workers started rushing to their native places from different states amid uncertainty over their livelihood following the announcement of a 21-day nationwide lockdown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week in order to contain the spread of novel coronavirus.
