Is jail the only thing BJP needs backward classes for, asks Palemar after ticket denial

Mangaluru, Apr 21: Expressing severe dissatisfaction over the ticket denial, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former minister Krishna J Palemar has said that the move would harm the party’s prospects in the region.

Speaking to media persons in the city on Saturday, the realtor-cum-politician came down heavily on Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel for allegedly preventing the party high command from issuing the B Form to the former. 

The outburst comes a day after BJP released its third and final list of candidates for the May 12 Karnataka assembly polls. The saffron party has fielded Dr Bharath Shetty from Mangaluru City North constituency instead of Mr Palemar, who was defeated by Congress leader B A Mohiuddin Bava in 2013.

“Does BJP require people of backward classes only to go to jails?,” questioned a visibly hurt Palemar, who was one of the most influential and powerful figures in the state politics during the previous BJP governments. 

Stating that the BJP has become a broken house in Mangaluru City North constituency, Mr Palemar said that the followers of another ticket aspirant, Sathyajit Surathkal, have now started pressurizing the latter to contest as an independent candidate. 

“This time BJP has issued tickets to four candidates of Bunt community in Dakshina Kannada district and completely ignored the people of backward classes. I feel sad to say that our own MP, for whose victory in Lok Sabha polls I had spent hugely, is responsible for this injustice,” said Mr Palemar.

Bengaluru, Mar 7: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said that the Upper Krishna Project (UKP) will be completed within the next three years.

Speaking in the Assembly, the Chief Minister said: "After discussing with the officials of the finance department, we have decided to allocate Rs 10,000 crore funds for the third phase of UKP. This project will be completed within a span of three years."

Yediyurappa also said that the government will hold talks for additional funds from the Central government.

The leader of Opposition, Siddaramaiah, interrupted and said that the CM has announced this just to gain the confidence of MLAs from north Karnataka.

"The government could have announced it in the budget itself or else the Chief Minister could have announced it at the time of discussion on the budget. Where are the funds with the government to complete the project? CM has announced this just to gain the confidence of MLAs who hail from north Karnataka," said Siddaramaiah.

Deputy Chief Minister Govinda Karajol while speaking to the media welcomed the Chief Minister's statement and said that the earlier government didn't allocate a single penny in the last seven years he added.
