Bengaluru, Mar 19: The Bharatiya Janata Party has reportedly decided to field Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, widow of late Union Minister H N Ananth Kumar from Bangalore South constituency. Ananth Kumar represented the constituency in the Lok Sabha for six consecutive terms since 1996.

Tejaswini had initially conveyed her reluctance to contest polls. However, state and central party leaders had been insisting that she make her electoral debut.

Former deputy chief minister R Ashoka met Tejaswini in the morning at the latter’s residence seeking that she contest the polls, for which she agreed. “Party leaders were insisting that I contest. I will go by their aspirations,” Tejaswini said.

Ashoka later held a meeting with party legislators, corporators and local leaders from Bangalore South segment.

Tejaswini knows the constituency well and was closely associated with development works taken up under MPLAD in the segment.

She runs the Adamya Chetana Foundation involved in supporting lesser privileged children. Politics, too is not new to her. Tejaswini was a youth leader with the ABVP, where she met Ananth Kumar, a fellow student leader.

“We were very keen that she contests from Bangalore South and continue the legacy left behind by Ananth Kumar,” BJP MLC and former minister V Somanna said.

After Ananth Kumar‘s demise in November last, top BJP leaders had made it clear that his family will not be let down. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on several public forums, had stated that Ananth Kumar’s death had left a huge void in the party.

PM Modi assured to consider all demands of Karnataka: Yediyurappa

News Network

January 3,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 3: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured him to consider all the demands made by his government.

"Prime Minister spoke to me personally and assured me of all help and suggested that I visit New Delhi and meet the concerned Ministers and apprise them about the state's problems and pending projects. He also directed me to prepare a detail report on this matter," Yediyurappa said in a statement.

He claimed that a section of media has misinterpreted his speech which was plain and honest towards the development of the state.

"A section of media has attached motive to my speech which was plain and honest in its content. Being in federal set up, there is nothing wrong with placing the facts before the Prime Minister and making submissions," the Chief Minister said.

"As a Chief Minister, I placed our state's problems and need for more funds for developmental activities. I pleaded before the Prime Minister for more funds to the relief work, the scientific and remunerative price for the farm produces, and special fund of Rs 50,000 crore for speeding up of on-going irrigation work. As it was farmers' meet, I felt it worthy and timely to plead the Prime Minister for more funds for all the developmental activities in the state," he said.

Asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a great visionary and his concern for the poor and farmers is unquestionable, he said: "When the whole world is appreciating his statesmanship and visionary zeal, it is in very bad taste for the media to attribute motives to my speech and relate it to the Prime Minister."

Yediyurappa requested media to show support to his government in the interest of the development of the state.

"I humbly request the electronic and print media not to misinterpret but support the government in the interest of the development of the state and interests of the people. I hope the media will respond to my request," he said.
