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.

New Delhi, Mar 2: The bloodthirsty arsonists allegedly hired by pro-CAA politicians in the capital of India to target Muslims, did not spare even the house of a Muslim leader of BJP.

Akhtar Raza, the BJP’s minority cell vice-president for the Delhi Northeast district, is now not in a position to share his pain with anyone. 

Even the police hadn’t come to his rescue, when the mob raising “Jai Sri Ram” slogans burnt down his house at Bhagirathi Vihar Nalla Road in northeast Delhi last week. 

“They were chanting slogans. Around 7pm, they started throwing stones at us. I called for police help. But the police asked me to leave. We managed to flee before they burnt my house and destroyed everything,” Raza, who returned today to witness the destruction, told media persons. 

“Those who attacked us were not locals. They were outsiders. They managed to identify and burn down all the 19 houses belonging to Muslims in this lane,” Raza said.

Apart from all the belongings in the house of Raza, the arsonists also have burnt down six vehicles belonging to his family. 

Raza is sad that no one from BJP contacted him after the violence even though he has been serving the party and promoting its ideology for past five years. “No party leader contacted me. There was no phone call. There was no relief or special treatment or anything,” Raza said.

Interestingly, Raza is still indentifies himself as a BJP leader. “I belonged to BJP. I may continue in the party,” he said.

The locality remained tense on Sunday too. On Monday, several groups distributed relief materials among people who had queued up to collect them. In front of Raza’s house is a lane from which several bodies of innocent Muslims have been recovered.

How  a Muslim and being a leader can  accept ideologies of such a hat mongers.

 

These people with such a ideolgies can never be the friend of not Muslims and  also good secular Hindus.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.
