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.

Bengaluru, Jan 19: Two college students have been arrested for allegedly spiking their female friend's drink and sexually assaulting her in Bengaluru.

The 19-year-old victim filed a complaint against the two accused, following which they were nabbed. In her complaint, the victim said that the two friends persuaded her to accompany them in a party where one of them allegedly spiked her drink.

Feeling unwell, she wanted to return to her PG, but the two managed to convince her to stay back at their place, where they allegedly sexually assaulted her.

"After some time one of my friends gave me something to drink and I vomited. I felt uneasy and decided to return to my PG. However, he forced me to go to his house stating that I was not in a condition to go to my PG. He convinced me saying that I can go home in the morning. I did not suspect any foul-play as he was a friend," the victim was quoted as saying by the publication.
