'Operation Lotus' story was spread only to cover up Cong-JDS govt failures: Yeddyurappa

Bengaluru, Jan 17: Opposition leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly B S Yeddyurappa, who is also BJP Karnataka unit President, today alleged that the story of 'Operation Lotus' was spread by ruling Congress-JDS leaders only to cover up the failures of the Coalition government which is yet to take off even after seven months of coming to power.

Speaking to newsmen before leaving to Tamakuru to call on ailing Sri Shivakumaraswamy of Siddaganga Mutt, he said that "BJP has not launched 'Operation Lotus' to woo the ruling party Legislators and no attempts were made to destabilise this Coalition government. The false news was spread to cover up growing dissatisfaction among the MLAs of both the coalition partners."

Clarifying that BJP Legislators from the State were summoned to National Capital Delhi only to discuss Lok Sabha election, Mr Yeddyurappa asked "why should they worry if we take our party MLAs to Delhi or Haryana and spread baseless stories to bring bad name to BJP, which has its own credibility in the political history".

He said that the BJP Legislators will be returning in batches to the State capital and if necessary he may visit Delhi once again.

Mr Yeddyurappa demanded the JD-S leaders to come out with the names of six BJP MLAs who in touch with them. "If it is true, let them disclose the names of the Legislators," he challenged.

Bengaluru, Jan 23: City civic body Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) levied a penalty of Rs 50,000 on the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) for using single-use plastic cups during the recent India-Australia one-day international match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

"Despite many awareness meetings, BBMP has found that single-use plastic cups were used during yesterday's cricket match and has fined KSCA Rs 50,000 as penalty," tweeted the civic body commissioner BH Anil Kumar.

The state cricket association treasurer Vinaya Mruthyunjaya said the civic body gave a general notice without detailed information on plastic use.

"We have been environmentally friendly for the last many years and at all gates, security has made sure no plastic or flex was allowed inside the stadium," Mruthyunjaya told media.

Mruthyunjaya said KSCA sought information from the civic body as to where the single-use plastic cups were found in the stadium during the India-Australia match.

On January 16, KSCA president Roger Binny inaugurated a plastic bottle shredder at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, in addition to other green initiatives at the cricket ground such as solar panels, sub-air system, biogas unit, rainwater harvesting and others. 

Similarly, in December 2019, BBMP cracked down on popular fast food eatery – Adyar Anand Bhavan in HSR Layout and fined the establishment Rs 1 lakh for plastic use.

In October, the BBMP fined eateries including McDonald's in central Bengaluru for using plastic.
