Mangalore, December 19: Undeterred by the recent setbacks, scam-tainted former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on Monday declared in the home district of incumbent CM DV Sadananda Gowda, that he was ready to take up the post again if his party's central leadership wanted him to lead the state.

“I had quit the CM post bowing to the party's demand and now I am prepared to take any responsibility bestowed by the party”, said the charismatic BJP leader, who participated in ongoing Vajapeya Somayaga at Nandagokula Goshale on Narahari hillock near Kalladka on the outskirts of the city for the second time in two weeks on Monday along with his confidante Shobha Karandlaje.

Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of yaga, he also reiterated that he would take up the CM's mantle if given a chance.

“I met BJP national leaders during my recent visit to New Delhi. They are convinced of my capabilities to lead the party and the state. If the central leadership wants me to become the CM again, I will do that," Mr Yeddyurappa said.

It can be recalled that last week, as many as 17 MPs submitted a memorandum to BJP national leaders L K Advani and Nitin Gadkari, seeking the CM's post for MR Yeddyurappa.

The MPs, owing allegiance to the first ever BJP CM of Karnataka, have been vociferous in their demand.

Though Yeddyurappa returned empty-handed from his Delhi trip, he was not disappointed.

"Apparently, Gadkari told him to wait for a month before any decision on reappointing him as the CM can be taken. He is confident of returning as the CM," his aides contended.

It is also said that Mr Yeddyurappa has been mounting pressure on the BJP central leadership from all quarters for the CM's post.

According to him, he is still worthy of returning as the CM because there are many leaders in the BJP, who are facing far more serious charges than him.

On Sunday the former CM at Dharmasthala had clarified that he would not quit the BJP if he was not reappointed as CM. "I am a loyal BJP worker. If the BJP wants me to bring back former minister B. Sriramulu to the party, I will take up that task also," he added.

Bengaluru, Feb 4: The CBI has booked Karnataka cadre senior IPS officers Hemant Nimbalkar and Ajay Hilori along with eight others in connection with Rs 4,000-crore I-Monetary Advisory (IMA) scam in which gullible investors were allegedly cheated in the name of Islamic banking, officials said on Tuesday.

The move came after the CBI received an approval from the Karnataka government to proceed with investigation into alleged role of 1998-batch IPS officer Nimbalkar and 2008-batch IPS officer Hilori, they said.

Along with the two officers, the agency has also named the company IMA, its founder Mansoor Khan and others in the case.

The CBI had approached the state government seeking permission to proceed against the two officers who are in senior positions in the Karnataka Police and allegedly helped IMA founder Masoor Khan, they said.

Koppal, Aug 3: The activists of Popular Front of India (PFI) have won the heart of the people by performing the last rites of a local leader of Bharatiya Janata Party in Koppla district of Karnataka. 

Somashekhara Gowda, a senior BJP leader in Koppal’s Gangavathi died of covid-19. His family members were reportedly quarantined. His own party activists also were not ready to participate in the last rite due to the fear of coronavirus infection.

Following requests, a team of PFI comprised of district secretary Fayaz, and members Yaseen, Abdul Aalam, Shamid Razi and Husain Azarauddin performed the last rites as per Veerashaiva Lingayat traditions. 

Speaking to media persons PFI district president Zaheer Abbas lamented that people still have plenty of misconceptions about covid-19. “Due to the misconceptions, performing the last rites of those who die of covid-19 has become a challenge,” he said.

He said that PFI activists followed all the health guidelines and took necessary precautions while performing the last rites. “Under the guidance of district health officials and with the consent of the family members of the deceased, the last rites were performed as per Veerashaiva Lingayat traditions,” he said.
