Kalaburagi, May 14: State BJP president BS Yeddyurappabacktracked on his comments that there would be a “positive atmosphere” for his party to form the government after the Lok Sabha election results are announced on May 23, insisting that he never said the coalition government will fall or that he would become chief minister.

Yeddyurappa, on Sunday, said as many as 20 Congress MLAs were ready to switch to the BJP and that the party would also win the bypolls in Kundgol and Chincholi assembly seats. However, barely 24 hours later, Yeddyurappa told reporters in Hubballi: “All I said was anything can happen to the coalition government, given the internal tussle between coalition partners Congress and JD(S).”

Reiterating that the coalition partners will not cross the double-digit mark in the Lok Sabha elections, Yeddyurappa said coalition candidates would bite the dust in Mandya, Tumakuru, Kolar and even Kalaburagi where Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress leader in the Lok Sabha, is contesting.

Referring to JD(S) state president AH Vishwanath's outburst against former chief minister Siddaramaiah, Yeddyurappa claimed it was Kumaraswamy who is fuelling the spat. “Vishwanath is only expressing Kumaraswamy's feelings about Siddaramaiah,” he said.

Later, at an election rally in Chincholi, Yeddyurappa said he will not allow the next legislative session to run if the government does not completely waive farm loans as promised. “Kumaraswamy has betrayed farmers by falsely promising to waive their loans. It's been one year now and not many farmers have benefited from the scheme," he said.

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples. 

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.
