Forget disqualified MLAs; field their kin in Karnataka bypolls: RSS suggests BJP

News Network

September 24, 2019

Bengaluru, Sept 24: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has reportedly suggested the BJP to forget the disqualified MLAs whose rebellion led to the collapse of the Congress-JD(S) coalition government, and field their kin in the upcoming bypolls to 15 assembly constituencies in Karnataka.

However Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is trying his best to help the rebels in their legal battle in the Supreme Court.

The RSS has its reasons to be wary of making the disqualified rebels candidates-for one it is not too sure of the loyalties of these former Congress and JD(S) MLAs, who deserted their parties to bring down the coalition government. And if they win the coming assembly by-elections as BJP candidates, they will have to be accommodated in the state cabinet, as promised by Mr Yediyurappa.

But, if the family members of the disqualified MLAs are given tickets and they win, the BJP will not be under any obligation to make them ministers and the vacant ministerial berths in the Yediyurappa cabinet can be allotted to BJP loyalists, said sources explaining the Sangh's preferences.

Sources said the party top leadership was always against Operation Lotus to lure Congress and JD(S) legislators as it wanted the coalition government to fall due to the infighting between then CM Mr H.D. Kumaraswamy and Congress Legislature party (CLP) leader Mr Siddaramaiah.

There are also BJP leaders who are worried about the contents of the audio tape which has been mentioned in the disqualification report of former Speaker Mr K.R. Ramesh Kumar.

In February, while trying to allegedly lure Gurumitkal JD(S) MLA Mr Naganagouda Kandakur to the BJP, Mr Yediyurappa and Devadurga MLA Shivanagouda Naik had reportedly made some self-incriminating statements in the tape, said sources. This has left many BJP leaders uncomfortable and they are not too keen on extending legal assistance to the disqualified MLAs now fighting their case in the top court, the sources added.

PFI, SDPI will be banned; party hopper MLAs who joined BJP will be awarded: K S Eshwarappa

News Network

January 19,2020

Mysuru, Jan 19: Karnataka Rural Development and Panchyat Raj Minister K S Eshwarappa on Sunday claimed that Popular Front of India and Social Democratic Party of India have been indulging in anti-national activities.

Talking to media persons here, he said the government is mulling to ban and take action against PFI and its political arm SDPI.

It was recommended even during the previous government, but it was not taken seriously, he added.

He said that the BJP will ensure that all the MLAs who were instrumental in the party coming to power (the then-disqualified MLAs who joined BJP from Congress and JDS recently and won the bypoll subsequently) will not be let down and be given suitable posts in the government.

May 6,2020

Mangaluru, May 6: The Karnataka NRI Forum - UAE has collected the details of those seeking to return to Karnataka amidst coronavirus lockdown.

Of these, 121 of these expats are pregnant women, 27 are senior citizens, 157 are in urgent medical need, 522 are unemployed, 377 are in the UAE on visit visa, 109 are in the UAE on expired residency visa, 30 are students and 566 others.

On Tuesday, May 5, the Government of India released a list of flight schedules for the repatriation of Indians who are stranded abroad. "...sadly we do not see any flights going from UAE to Karnataka," the KNRI said in a letter to Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers D V Sadananda Gowda, who is also a Kannadiga.

"We, Dubai Anivasi Kannadigaru and KNRI have collected the information of those who are in dire condition and would like to travel immediately. We would like to bring to your attention that in this list there are pregnant women and senior citizens who are in critical conditions and are waiting to travel," the KNRI wrote, urging the Union Minister to start at least one flight to Mangaluru as the majority are from this coastal city and not from Bengaluru.

Additionally, in order to help these struggling Kannadigas, the KNRI has notified the Government of India and Government of Karnataka several times through letters and conference calls, along with the Kannadiga's helpline, UAE.

With the help of likeminded businessmen and professionals, the KNRI Forum and Dubai Anivasi Kannadigaru have opened a helpline called "Kannadigas Helpline" through which they have received around 2,500 requests for food, medical, legal and other assistance.
