Muslims in BJP’s favour; tickets only for winnable candidates: Yeddyurappa

Bengaluru, Nov 1: Minorities, backward classes and dalits in Karnataka will favour Bharatiya Janata Party in 2018 polls in spite of chief minister Siddaramaiah’s attempts to woo them, according to former BJP’s state president and CM candidate B S Yeddyurappa.

BJP did not field a single Muslim candidate in 2013 Karnataka Assembly polls and 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls. “The reason behind this is BJP’s decision to give tickets only to winnable candidates,” says Yeddyurappa.

The former CM asserts that BJP’s Ahinda agenda is inclusive of Muslims and other religious minorities. “Muslims also support us. In my tenure as CM, I searched for a Muslim (Mumtaz Ali Khan) to give an MLC seat. If Muslims were not in BJP’s favour, it would not have won in UP,” he said.

“Under the Bhagyalakshmi scheme I started in Karnataka for the welfare of the girl child, 50% of the beneficiaries are Muslims,” he claimed.

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’.
