Modi-Shah duo didn’t hesitate to sideline Advani; imagine the fate of Yeddyurappa: C M Ibrahim

Bengaluru, Apr 29: The Congress demagogue and former union minister C M Ibrahim has advised the Karnataka BJP chief and chief minister aspirant B S Yeddyurappa not to blindly trust his party’s high command.

Speaking to media persons here today, Mr Ibrahim said that leaders like Yeddyurappa are mere a tool for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP supremo Amit Shah.

“The Modi-Shah duo did not hesitate to sideline their supreme guru L K Advani, who built and strengthen the saffron party in India. Then imagine the fate of a state level leader like Yeddyurappa, who is already 75-year-old,” said Mr Ibrahim.

“They will sideline Yeddyurappa like how they sidelined Advani. They will use Yeddyurappa till elections are over and will direct Anant Kumar Hedge to chase him,” he predicted, adding that he was sympathetic towards the Lingayat stalwart.

"Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will register a historic win in Badami. A few people, who dug up hills in Ballari, have come to Badami for digging up the hills. However, Badami voters won't let it happen. Every leader in the Congress is supporting Siddaramaiah," Mr Ibrahim added. He charged that Modi was concentrating on the development of the empires of Ambani and Adani.

Bengaluru, Feb 14: BJP leader and Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashok refused to comment on the Bellary car accident case, allegedly involving his son, saying that the matter was still under investigation and that they did not have anything to do with the said car.

The car crash took place on February 10, when a speeding red Mercedes Benz allegedly driven by Ashok's son rammed into a tea stall by the roadside killing two people. While a 16-year-old boy Ravi died on the spot, one of the car's passengers was also killed in the accident.

"I came to know about the incident and also heard that two people have died and a few others have sustained injuries. Everybody is equal under the law. It is not fair to comment as a minister when the case is being investigated," Ashok told reporters here on Thursday.

However, the minister avoided answering questions about his son's presence in the car and said that they had "no connection" with the car.

"The case is in the investigation stage, I don't want to comment on anything. My son's name is not present in the FIR. We have no connection with the car," he said.

Superintendent of Police CK Baba told reporters that Ashok's son was not present in the car.

"There was no senior BJP leader and Revenue Ministers's son in the car. We will not hide anything and the case will be investigated," Baba said.

Mangaluru, Aug 8: As visuals of the Air India Express flight crash at Kozhikode international airport emerge, one cannot help but be reminded of an eerily similar and unfortunate accident that occurred a decade ago. The August 7, 2020 tragedy brought back memories of the 2010 crash.

It was on May 22, 2010 that an Air India Express Boeing 737-800 flight from Dubai to Mangaluru over shot the runway while landing at Bajpe airport and fell into a cliff. Of the 160 passengers and 6 crew members on board, 158 were killed (all crew members and 152 passengers) and only 8 survived.

Even back then, the plane had split into two. The crash has been termed as one of India's worst aviation disasters.

The final conversations between Air traffic control (ATC) and the pilot prior to the landing showed no indication of any distress.

Like the Mangaluru accident, Karipur crash too happened when the flight was attempting to land.

The captain of the aircraft which crashed at Mangaluru, Z Glucia, was an experienced pilot with 10,000 hours of flying experience and had 19 landings at the Mangalore airport. Co-pilot S S Ahluwalia, with 3,000 hours of flying experience had as many as 66 landings at this airport. Both the pilot and co-pilot were among the victims.

An investigation into the accident later found that the cause of the accident was the captain’s failure to discontinue an ‘unstabilised approach’ and his persistence to continue with the landing, despite three calls from the First Officer to ‘go-around’.
