JD(S)-Congress govt will fall on its own before February session, says Yeddyurappa

Bengaluru, Jan 1: Karnataka BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa on Monday said his party was not attempting to dislodge the JD(S)-Congress coalition government in the state but predicted that it would fall on its own before the joint session of the legislature likely to be held in February.

“BJP is not making any attempt to destabilise the government. But we are definitely not sanyasis to sit quiet and watch the government fall,” Yeddyurappa told reporters here. “We too have ambitions and we will do everything possible to form the next government in the state.”

Dismissing the allegation by former chief minister Siddaramaiah that the saffron party is offering Congress MLAs ₹25 crore to ₹30 crore each to defect, Yeddyurappa said, “There is no need for the BJP to pull down the government. The government is already in a state of confusion, with several discontented Congress and JD(S) leaders and ministers.”

“Siddaramaiah has been repeatedly making irresponsible statements,” he said. “Such allegations do not suit his stature. He should furnish evidence before making such allegations.”

Yeddyurappa also rejected speculation that he or any of BJP leader is in touch with Congress MLA and former minister Ramesh L Jarkiholi, who has remained incommunicado after being dropped in the recent ministry rejig.

Shivamogga, Feb 1: A three-year-old girl who fell out of a moving vehicle had a miraculous escape in Agumbe Ghat section in Teerthahalli taluk of Shivamogga district of Karnataka.

The incident took place in the early hours of Friday when 12 members from three different families were returning from a tour of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The girl was reunited with her family after 30 minutes of high drama.

The child, identified as Anavi, is believed to have fallen from the vehicle as it negotiated hairpin bends on the Agumbe Ghat road, 350km from Bengaluru. The child's parents, Binu and Lincy, from NR Pura in Chikkamagaluru district, and other family members reportedly dozed off and did not realize the child had fallen off the vehicle until they covered a distance of about 20km.

One of the family members noticed that child was missing from the seat next to the door. When the driver realized the door latch had given way, they suspected the child could have slipped out of the vehicle.

Then the family started searching along the road and learnt from a forest guard at the Agumbe checkpost that a missing child was found and it had been handed over to Agumbe police station.

An advocate who identified himself as Vinay spotted the girl child as he passed the deserted stretch minutes after the vehicle left and picked her up and handed her over to Agumbe police.

The child sustained minor injuries in the fall. She was provided medical treatment before she was handed over to the parents.

Sources said it wasn't known how the vehicle door opened. One theory is that the girl could have accidentally unlocked the door while clutching the latch in the bumpy ride on the ghat. Police did not file any complaint.

Similar incident

This incident is almost a rerun of a Kerala incident in which a one-year-old baby fell off a moving jeep and was reunited with its mother hours later in September 2019 in Idukki district.

The baby had slipped off the mother's arms while she dozed off in the vehicle. CCTV footage showed the baby, after falling on the road, crawling towards a lit-up area close by, which turned out to be a forest checkpost. Family realised child was missing after 20km.
