Padmanabha Prasannakumar, the founder of Karnataka Janata Party (KJP), which was formally launched by former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa during his year-long fight with BJP, has claimed that there is a threat to his life from Udupi-Chikkamagaluru BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje.

Addressing media persons in Bagalkot on Saturday, Padmanabha Prasannakumar said, Shobha Karandlaje had threatened him of dire consequences if he dares to release the CD of her marriage with Yeddyurappa in a secret ceremony at a Kerala temple.

“I am fearing for my life. I had submitted written requests to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the then Home minister G Parameshwara seeking police protection. But nothing came out of it. I have lodged a complaint against Shobha Karandlaje at Vidhana Soudha police station alleging threat to my life from Shobha Karandlaje," teary-eyed Padmanabha said.

"Shobha Karandlaje and Yeddyurappa got married at Bhagavati Temple in Kerala. I have a CD of the marriage. If Chief Minister Siddaramaiah provides me the security, I will release the CD," KJP founder said.

He accused Shobha of misleading Yeddyurappa. "Had Yeddyurappa stayed in the KJP, the party would have come to power this time. Shobha made him leave the party. She will destroy Yeddyurappa's political career."

Replying to a query, Padmanabha Prasannakumar said that he would contest from Shikaripura and Teradal constituencies in the coming Assembly polls. and that the KJP would field candidates in all 224 constituencies.

Getting married is no problem. The worry is when two public figures who intend to gain high public office keep the marriage a secret. Bhakths will never understand these things.

Bengaluru, Jun 17: The Opposition leader in the Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah on Wednesday strongly urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to desist from invoking amendment to the Land Reforms Act, saying it would make buying land easier for the corporate companies and the rich.

In a hard-hitting letter to the Chief Minister, a copy of which was released to the media, the Congress leader had urged to rescind the decision from amending to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act and also Agriculture Produces Marketing Committee Act.

Asserting that the state government's move was only intending to help to the land grabbers, Siddaramaiah, also the former chief minister, said easing of restrictions to buy land to the tune of over 216 acres per individual would sound a death knell to the farm sector.
