Mangaluru, Nov 7: Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Monday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party and other organisations not to protest against the State government-sponsored Tipu Jayanti on Thursday. If the organisations turn violent in their protests, the police are capable of handling them. “We are capable of fire fighting,” he said.

Talking to reporters, Dr. Parameshwara said the State government was firm on organising the programme across the State. Since the programme was being held indoor, there was no scope for any trouble. The government will act tough against those who try to disrupt the programme or attempt to create unrest.

The Chief Minister has given clear instruction to the police top brass to ensure peace during the programme.

On the threat by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad activists that the State will burn, if the government went ahead with Tipu Jayanti, Dr. Parameshwara said that the police were capable of handling the situation.

Dr. Parameshwara said that the BJP was trying to create confusion among the people by opposing Tipu Jayanti.

He asked the BJP to take part in the programme for upholding peace and amity in society.

While stating that the government was not forcing people to celebrate the day, Dr. Parameshwara said that the government was not politicising the issue and organising the event to score political brownie points over the Opposition.

Bengaluru,  Jul 9: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said that he was opposed to a tie-up with Janata Dal-Secular in the last Lok Sabha elections but the party high command did not listen to him.

"I had suggested that we should fight alone (in Lok Sabha elections) because JD-S votes would not have come to us and our votes would not have gone to JD-S," Siddaramaiah told reporters here.

Congress leader said that he was the only one to make the suggestion and he did not get support.

"I was the only one to raise a voice that's why it was not heard by (party) high command and I did not get support. We might have won over seven seats in parliament election if we had fought alone," he said.

After forming government in Karnataka in 2018 with support of JD-S, Congress had fought the 2019 general election in a pre-poll alliance with the party. Congress could only one seat of the 21 it contested and JD-S also won one seat of the seven it contested.
