The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado was gifted to Yeddyurappa by former industries minister Murugesh R Nirani on his first day in office as state BJP president. The 2,982 cc SUV, adorned with a plaque, made its debut on Friday when Yeddyurappa used it to travel between his home and the party office. Excited BJP workers were seen taking selfies with the vehicle in the backdrop.

Party sources said Yeddyurappa will embark on the week-long tour to the drought-hit districts in the state on April 24. He can address crowds standing through the sunroof.

Justifying his scheduled travel, Yeddyurappa said, "What is wrong in using a luxury car to tour drought-affected areas? My former colleague Nirani has gifted the car..he felt it would provide me comfort and safety."

Here there are 3points.

1- Visiting famine area with Luxury style
2- Source of Gifting - The source of this car ?????
3- The beneficiary of this Gift. - Credibility of this person.

In BJP everything is possible, until we have majority of stupid and illiterate.
They will reign and enjoy until the above 2 sects last.
When it ceases, the God will take his own course.

A leader should be an example..
it is the ARROGANCE to use such expensive vehicle to visit the area where people are dying of THIRST.
I would request YEDDY to sell the VEHICLE and spend the money on PEOPLE rather than showing the ARROGANCE. and insulting people who are facing the troubles...

The accused has been absconding ever since a case under POCSO Act was registered against him a year ago.

However acting on a tip off, the Kasaragod police arrested him at Mangalore Airport recently and was produced before the Court and was remanded to judicial custody.

Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), May 19: Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa asking Muslims to offer their Eid prayers this time at home, instead of congregating at mosques.

The directive comes amid a nationwide lockdown to slow down the spread of coronavirus.

Despite the relaxations announced in the lockdown, religious and other large gatherings are still banned.

The fatwa was issued in response to a query put to the seminary, its spokesman Ashraf Usmani said.

The fatwa said the Eid namaz can be offered in the same manner that the Friday prayers are now being read at home.

It said not holding the namaz in the usual manner is pardonable in circumstances such as these.
