HDK again offers support to BJP after bypolls, but BSY dismisses idea

Bengaluru, Nov 26: JD(S) leader and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy reiterated that he will extend support to chief minister BS Yediyurappa if the BJP fails to secure the minimum six seats it requires to stay in power in the December 5 byelections to 15 seats. Yediyurappa, however, rejected the offer and pitched instead for “Congress-JD(S)- mukt Karnataka”.

“There is no question of midterm elections as the JD(S) is willing to support the BJP government to avoid imposition of yet another election on people,” Kumaraswamy said at a public rally in Vijayanagara, Ballari, on Monday.

Kumaraswamy had offered support to the BJP previously too, in a bid to prevent several leaders from his party switching sides. As if on cue on Monday, BJP state general secretary Arvind Limbavali hinted that the exodus of opposition MLAs into the BJP will continue, saying several JD(S) legislators were in touch with his party.

Reacting to Kumaraswamy’s offers of support, Limbavali, also the party’s convener for the bypolls, said it shows their “insecurity”.

Meanwhile, rejecting the offer, Yediyurappa said his government doesn’t need any party’s support since he is confident of winning all 15 byelection seats.

Speaking at a rally in Vijayanagara, Yediyurappa said, “If we have to make it Congressmukt Bharat then it should be Congress mukt Karnataka first. It should begin here. That’s our bypoll motto.”

However, Congress Legsilature Party leader and leader of the opposition in the assembly Siddaramaiah ruled out the possibility of JD(S) joining hands with the BJP and predicted midterm polls in the state.

“I am sure the JD(S) will not support the BJP,” Siddaramaiah said. “I know the party inside out since I was associated with it for a long time. I know their mindset. Seeking a fresh mandate may become inevitable.”

Siddaramaiah insisted fresh polls are a distinct possibility in the event of the BJP not winning the required number of seats to keep it in power. “They will have to resign,” Siddaramaiah said.

Siddaramaiah also criticised the way the BJP grabbed power, toppling the JD(S)-Congress coalition government. “What the BJP did was unethical,” he said. “They poached 17 MLAs from the Congress and JD(S) and formed the government. That is why we are now having bypolls to 15 constituencies. The BJP will suffer a setback.”

On whether he will become chief minister if the BJP government falls, Siddaramaiah said the high command and the legislature party will decide.

Bengaluru, Jan 22: Karnataka home minister Basavaraj Bommai today refused to respond when a journalist asked him why Aditya Rao, who was arrested on charge of planting bomb at Mangaluru International Airport, can’t be called a terrorist.

Responding to another query of another journalist on the sidelines of a private program, here, Mr Bommai said all airports in the state would soon have bomb disposal squads.

"After the Mangaluru airport bomb incident, a thought has been given to establishing bomb disposal squads near airports in the state. Hubballi and Kalburgi airports too will have them," he said.

He said, Aditya Rao resident of Udupi who has been in a frustrated state for not getting employment and earlier too arrested for hoax calls surrendered at the DGP office in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The Mangaluru police will take him into custody for investigations, he added.

Despite the suspect surrendering to the police, investigations into the case will continue, he said.

He further added, 'Irrespective of the organisations the accused belongs to, he will be punished.”

Explosives used in the Mangaluru airport bomb have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis and investigation. National Security Guards too were collecting details, he stated.

He then went on to slam Opposition parties over Mangaluru Airport bomb incident. “State police, on getting information about the suspected bag, had acted swiftly and diffused it. The opposition has resorted to politics and using the incident to appease minorities,” he said.

He also termed that the statements made by the opposition would instigate anti-national elements.
