Eye on polls, BJP to hold Muslims' convention

Bengaluru, Sept 16: The state BJP is planning to hold a political convention of Muslims in the coming months ahead of the Assembly polls early next year.

Speaking after inducting several leaders from the Muslim community into the BJP here on Friday, party state president B S Yeddyrappa said the plan is to invite 25,000 Muslims from across the state to the convention.

He said Muslims were fed up with ‘vote back politics’ of the Congress and were turning towards the BJP.

 The overwhelming support the BJP got in the recent Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh was an indication in this direction, he said.

Union Ministers and BJP election in-charge for Karnataka Assembly polls, Prakash Javadekar and Piyush Goyal, will be in Bengaluru on Saturday to participate in a party meeting.

Can you remove beef ban? can you stop discriminating muslims? can you stop lynching dalits? can you stop giving false promises? can you stop disturbing people by putting unwanted laws and rules?

 

 

You can't. so you people won't win

Bengaluru, Feb 19: A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Karnataka High Court, seeking a stay on Anand Singh functioning as Minister of Forests, Environment and Ecology contending that there are criminal cases filed against him by the Ministry.

"A stay be granted prohibiting Anand Singh from functioning as the Cabinet Minister for the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology. Any other order that the Honourable Court may deem fit in the interest of justice and equity," the PIL prays.

The petition, filed by advocate Vijay Kumar, said that the Chief Minister has allocated the portfolio of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology to Singh without considering the fact that there are several criminal faces filed against him by the Ministry.

It said that the allocation of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology portfolio to Singh is in the conflict of interest.

"The holding of the post of Cabinet minister for the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology is against public interest and completely in conflict of interest as he has business for which the subject Ministry is the overseeing authority and further he will also have access to the case files which again is in conflict of interest," the PIL said.

PIL adds that "it is pertinent and absolutely necessary" to deny the incumbent from accessing files related to his cases and from taking any decisions which may provide him with pecuniary benefits through his businesses.
