Mangalore, December 25: Asserting himself on much discussed leadership issue, Chief Minister D V Sadanada Gowda on Sunday said that there is no question of leadership change for the next one-and-a-half years, when the BJP Government's term ends.

He was responding to the media persons after landing at NITK helipad at Suratkal on the outskirts of the city, before participating in the inaugural ceremony of Srinivas Institute of Medical Science and Research Centre.

“I will continue as Chief Minister as long as the party high command wants me to do so. I will quit the moment the high command asks me to resign. Till then the question of leadership change does not arise,” said the ever smiling politician of Tulunadu, who took over as CM four-and-a-half months ago.

Indirectly criticising his predecessor B S Yeddyurappa, who has opposed collective leadership and strongly demanded one-man leadership, Mr Gowda said an individual cannot decide whether the party should opt for collective leadership or one-man leadership. “This is an issue that has to be decided by the party high command,” he added.

He also clarified that it was the decision of the party central leadership that Karnataka should face the next polls under a collective leadership. “The party will go by the words of the leaders” he clarified.

Asked whether there was any possibility of independent MLA B Sriramulu camp's reentry into the saffron party, Mr Gowda said he is least bothered about them as it was the responsibility of the high command to take a final decision in this issue. “My responsibility is to look after the Government”, he said.

Minister for Higher Education V S Acharya, Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and District-in-charge minister Krishna J Palemar were present among others to extend a warm welcome to the CM.

Resolution in Kerala Assembly is against unconstitutional Act passed by Centre: CM

News Network

January 1,2020

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 1: Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said that the resolution passed by the Kerala Assembly is against the "unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre".

"The resolution passed by Kerala Assembly is against the unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre. It has been noticed by the whole country," Vijayan said.

The Kerala Assembly had on Tuesday passed a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

Before the resolution was passed against the Act, Vijayan in a special Assembly session targeted RSS and said that citizenship law is part of an agenda.

"The CAA is part of an agenda. Muslims are being considered as internal enemies by RSS, who is controlling the ruling dispensation at the Centre," he alleged.

The new law grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday while talking about women safety, the Chief Minister said, "Those women, who are traveling face many problems, particularly regarding accommodation. To address this, government will start accommodation facilities in all towns. This project will be implemented with the help of local bodies."

Reacting to the development in the Kerala Assembly, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that Assembly has insulted the Constitution and parliament by passing a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

"The Constitution has delineated clearly the roles of parliament and state legislatures. When people who have taken an oath of the constitution, destroy it, it is a most irresponsible act. Both the houses of parliament have passed CAA and if a state assembly tries to hijack the Act it is an insult not only of the constitution but the parliament as well," Naqvi told news agency.

Comments

Dear scape goat Naqvi, dont try to fool us. I know you are a liar as you are int he company of liars. MPs are taking oath to respect and safeguard indian constitution and not to disrespect it and go agaisnt the teachings of constitution. What Central Govt has done is 100 perent agaisnt the constitution and every citizen has the right to oppose this. You are definately go with the Govt as you are paid for it. But dont force other too to follow you. What Kerala Govt has done is according to will of people and Central Govtr should respect it.
