Bagalkot, Oct 7: BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa on Friday clarified that he had earlier decided to contest from Teradal Assembly constituency in Bagalkot district but withdrew his decision following the pressure by the people of Shikaripur, who, he said, shaped his political career.

Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Yeddyurappa said, “I was considering a proposal to contest from Terdal or Bagalkot or Vijayapura from the party leaders of Bagalkot and Vijayapura districts.

But the people of Shikaripur opposed my plans during two booth-level meetings there. They told me to go for campaigning elsewhere after filing nomination from Shikaripur constituency.”

“Siddu Savadi will contest on the party ticket from Terdal. I will not leave Shikaripur and there is no question of reconsidering it,” Yeddyurappa, the seven-time MLA from Shikaripur, said.

To a query on ACB sleuths’ raid on I-T officials, Yeddyurappa said, “ACB raids on the houses of I-T officials is the height of foolishness and Siddaramaiah has lost his senses. ACB is constituted to shield the wrongdoings of Congress government.”

“In next two to three days MLC Puttaswamy will release incriminating documents to expose a major scam of Congress government,” Yeddyurappa said.

Shivamogga, Jun 30: The organic farmers' market in Shivamogga in Karnataka has seen a rise in the demand for organic fruits and vegetables in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Residents of nearby areas frequently visit the market to get fresh produce.

According to Sridhar, a farmer who sells his produce in the market, the demand for organic fruits and vegetables was very low before the coronavirus outbreak.

"I have been involved in organic farming for the last two decades but there was no real market. Since these days everyone is trying to boost their immunity, we are getting a lot of positive response from the locals," he told news agency.

Sridhar and other farmers come from villages near the city. They are authentic organic farmers under the Vikas Trust and Savayava Krishi Parivar, a federation of organic farmer's families based in Karnataka, and they promote pesticide and fertiliser free agriculture.

Gurumel Singh, who often comes to the local market said, "My family has started eating more organic fruits and vegetable now because of the pandemic. We have been told it is important to take care of our health and organic fruits and vegetables are good immunity boosters. The fruits I buy from the organic market are also much sweeter than the ones I get elsewhere."

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.
