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.

New Delhi, Mar 19: The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the validity of Karnataka's 2018 reservation law, which granted reservation in promotion to employees belonging to SC and ST categories.

A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud holds that applications filed by a group of general category employees for applying 'post-based quota' and the principle of the creamy layer at entry-level in public employment are not maintainable.

The apex court had, in November last year, reserved its order on the applications filed by general category candidates in the matter.

In May last year, the top court had upheld the law allowing reservations in promotions for SC and ST candidates with consequential seniority.

Bengaluru, Apr 19: A recent government order prohibiting congregations, Ramadan prayers is discriminatory and needs to be withdrawn, JD(S) MLC B M Farookh has demanded.

In a letter to the chief secretary, Farookh pointed out that the order contained certain conditions such as restriction of the use of public address system and delivering Azan in low decibels, which had nothing to do with the prevention of Covid-19 disease.

“These days, Azan includes a call for the community to pray at home and does not offer namaz at mosque. The order also prohibits preparation and distribution of porridge, which has always been taken up in the interest of the poor. The High Court has noted that the relief distribution by NGOs or individuals should not be prevented and the state machinery has to coordinate the same by ensuring social distancing. The ban on distribution of porridge by mosques amounts to discrimination. The order needs to be withdrawn or revisited,” he wrote in his letter.

Further, observing that a religious fair was conducted in Kalaburagi recently, in violation of the government’s social distancing norms, Farookh sought the government to ensure that social distancing norms are enforced with regard to festivals of all communities without discrimination.
