Channapatna, Apr 6: Channapatna MLA and BJP leader C P Yogeeshwara on Thursday challenged former chief minister and JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy to contest against him from Channapatna Assembly constituency and emerge victorious.

Reacting to Kumaraswamy's decision to contest from both Ramanagara and Channapatna seats in the May 12 Assembly polls, Yogeeshwara hit back at the JD(S) leader saying: "Congesting from Ramanagara and Channapatna Assembly constituencies is a waste of money and energy. Instead, contest from my constituency, Channapatna. I will accept your candidature sportively and prove my might by emerging victorious."

Addressing reporters here, the former forest minister who recently joined the BJP said, "Former prime minister H D Deve Gowda and his son Kumaraswamy have suppressed other leaders from the Vokkaliga community. The father-son duo is blackmailing voters emotionally. Deve Gowda should live upto his age while criticising others."

Yogeeshwara charged that the list of benami properties held by Kumaraswamy was too big. "Kumaraswamy owns properties in Singapore and Malaysia," he claimed.

He advised Kumaraswamy to strike a pre-poll alliance with a political party as the JD(S) might win haradly 20 to 25 seats. "Many leaders from the JD(S) are knocking on the doors of the BJP," he claimed.

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."
