Mangaluru, Oct 31: The monthly meeting of the council of Mangaluru City Corporation took an ugly turn on Tuesday with some councillors of the Opposition BJP resorting to personal attack against Mayor Kavitha Sanil and trying to assault Congress corporator A C Vinayaraj.

Unable to control her emotions, the Mayor broke down and adjourned the House for sometime when BJD corporators began to level allegations against her and demanded her resignation over allegations of assault on a woman.

The commotion continued after the House was re-convened with the Opposition members not allowing the Mayor to speak and the ruling members shouting against the BJP.

The Mayor urged the BJP corporators to stop lying and speak only the truth. She also invited them to repeat allegations at Kateel Sri Durgaparameshwari Temple.

"Give me an opportunity to clarify on the allegations you make against me - at least as mother of a girl. Please do not politicize personal issues. I have neither assaulted security guard's wife nor pulled her child. I am ready to deny your (BJP's) allegations in front of the deity at Kateel Temple. You (BJP members) also should repeat the allegations against me in front of the deity. Everything is on record and I have the CCTV footages," Mayor said.

BJP corporators led by opposition leader Roopa D Bangera, Ganesh Hosabettu, Premanand Shetty and others shouted slogans against mayor and demanded her resignation. 

It may be recalled that a woman from Bagalkot had complained at the Mangaluru Women Police Station alleging that the mayor has assaulted the latter and pulled away her child on October 18. Meanwhile, Kavitha too had filed a counter complaint against the woman and her husband at Barke police station for threatening her nine year old daughter.

Bengaluru, May 29: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and BJP State President Nalin Kumar Kateel will resolve any differences of opinion among party leaders in Karnataka, according to Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi

If anybody has any issues, they should get them resolved by talking with Yediyurappa and Kateel. Internal matters, if any, should not be discussed in public, he said.

Angadi told reporters here on Friday that differences of opinion among party leaders have not come to his notice. A section of party leaders assembling for dinner should not be constituted as a meeting of dissidents. BJP has internal democracy and any differences of opinion if exist will be resolved at the party forum.

He added that if MLA Umesh Katti has any issues regarding cabinet berth or regarding assurances given to him by Yediyurappa during the Lok Sabha elections, he should talk with the chief minister.

Everyone in politics has aspirations and it's natural. Those aspiring for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections should talk with the chief minister or the state president, he said.

Ramesh Katti was former MP and there was nothing wrong in him being aspirant for Rajya Sabha elections, he said.

Angadi said, "Party is supreme. We shall work for the victory of party candidates irrespective of who they were".

A state cabinet meeting was held on Thursday. Many of the MLAs too had been to Bengaluru for constituency-related works. As they had been meeting after a long time, all gathered for dinner, he expressed.
