Kumar Bangarappa to be BJP candidate against his JDS brother in Sorab?

Bengaluru, Feb 21: Former Minister Kumar Bangarappa appears poised to shift loyalties from the Congress to the Bharatiya Janata Party, as he is “frustrated with the ill-treatment” meted out to him in the ruling party. He has, however, said that he is yet to take a final call.

Untitled-1 copyIn the event of Mr. Kumar joining the BJP, it will again be a straight fight between his brother — Madhu Bangarappa (JD-S) and him — in Sorab constituency in 2018, once represented by their late father and former Chief Minister S. Bangarappa. H. Halappa, who contested on the KJP ticket in 2013, and is now in the BJP, is expected to migrate to another constituency in the district to make way for Mr. Kumar.

While Mr. Kumar may be the latest to join the bandwagon, it is speculated that at least half a dozen other Congress leaders will follow in the footsteps of former Chief Minister S.M. Krishna and senior leader V. Srinivas Prasad, who moved out of the Congress recently. Leaders like M.H. Ambareesh, Suresh Gowda, and L.R. Shivarame Gowda, leaders from Mandya, are likely to quit the Congress, sources in the party said.

Like his late father, who used to convene a meeting of his supporters in Sorab town prior to taking important political decisions, Mr. Kumar convened one recently. “In the Sorab meeting, people forced me to join the BJP. I will take a final call after holding another round of consultations with my supporters in Sorab,” he said.

Lashing out at Revenue Minister Kagodu Thimmappa, he said JD(S) activists were nominated for the taluk-level bagair hukum regularisation committee in Sorab constituency, which is represented by his younger brother, Madhu Bangarappa (JD-S).

Mr. Kumar said there was deep discontent among Congress activists against the style of functioning of the government and the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee. “The KPCC has remained deaf even to the displeasure expressed by senior leaders C.K. Jaffer Sharief, B. Janardhana Poojary, and H. Vishwanath,” he said.

Meanwhile, Madhu Bangarappa, president of the state youth wing of the JD(S), ruled out the possibility of his brother Kumar Bangarappa joining the party. “He is in a national party; I am a member of a regional one. We cannot be in the same party. That being the case, there is no possibility of him joining the JD(S),” Madhu told reporters in Shivamogga.

Both these are ruining their future. Its unfortunate that few leaders wants to be in higher position always for their own benefit and they start blaming the party whenever they are not given chance. These are selfish parties who are caring of themselves only and not caring for party or public. These people are now joining the most corrupt party BJP.

Bengaluru, Mar 2: The Opposition Congress and the JD(S) members protested in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Monday over the BJP leader Basavaraj Patil Yatnal's alleged derogatory remark against veteran freedom fighter H S Doreswamy.

Opposition Leader in the Assembly and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, raised the issue, immediately after the obituary reference of sudden demise of former Minister C Chanigappa, and sought permission from the Speaker to raise the issue of Yatnal's outburst in the House stating that the matter of hurling defamatory remark against Gandhian Doreswamy, by Mr Yatnal, was very much serious. However, the treasury bench members protested and urged the Speaker not to allow the matter to discuss as the issue was not in the agenda.

The Speaker, Vishveshwar Hegde Kageri, promised the Congress leader about permitting the issue after the House adopts resolution on the thanksgiving motion for the Governor's address of the joint House recently and asked Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to continue his reply to the Governor's address.

The opposition Congress and the JD(S) members, protesting the Speaker's action, trooped into the well of the house and raised slogans against the BJP government.

The Chief Minister continued his reply amidst the din before the Speaker adjourned the House for 30 minutes after the House adopted the thanksgiving motion to the Governor's Address.
