UP poll verdict will repeat in Karnataka too, predicts Yeddyurappa

Mysuru, Jan 26: State BJP president and former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa on Thursday predicted that a poll outcome parallel to the election results in Uttar Pradesh is all set to happen in Karnataka. “BJP is poised to win 150 seats in the State,” he said.

Speaking at the Parivarthana Yatra, which saw the presence of top BJP leaders including national president Amit Shah, here at the Maharaja College Grounds, Mr. Yeddyurappa asked the people to imagine the change the State will see if the State and the Centre was ruled by the BJP.

Karnataka is among the only few States, which is ruled by the Congress. The Congress will be wiped out even in those States and “Congress-free country” is a matter of time, he said.

Mr. Yeddyurappa targeted Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in his entire speech and announced that his party will soon be making charges against the Chief Minister and some of his Cabinet colleagues.

He said the people were fed up with this government and this was evident during his yatra. There is anti-incumbency wherever I have toured. Lawlessness, corruption, nepotism are the contributions of this Congress government, which needs to be removed in the coming elections.

Claiming that the government had gone “bankrupt”, Mr. Yeddyurappa said that Karnataka lost an opportunity to get investments worth Rs. 16,000 crore as Mr. Siddaramaiah did not accompany Prime Minister Narendra Modi on some of his foreign tours, while CMs of other States did. “He did not accompany Mr. Modi for political reasons,” he said.

Recalling the transfer of Hassan Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri Dasari, Mr. Yeddyurappa lashed out at the Chief Minister and said his style of functioning was condemnable.

Former Minister V. Sreenivas Prasad described Mr. Siddaramaiah as an “opportunist” and demanded that the Congress be unseated. “The anti-incumbency factor will sink Mr. Siddaramaiah and the Congress,” he said.

He urged people not to vote for the Congress as it would support the “arrogance and egotism of Mr. Siddaramaiah.” Mr. Prasad accused Mr. Siddaramaiah of hatching a “conspiracy” to become the Chief Minister.

Bengaluru, Apr 29: Janata Dal-Secular leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday accused the central government of writing off loans of those who are facing charges of fraud.

In a series of tweets, Kumaraswamy slammed the central government.

"Really? At a time when the whole world is worried about unprecedented economic emergency, writing off Rs 68,000 crore loans of willful big fish defaulters became the best antidote to the economic crisis? And how is 50k cr package to mutual funds going to help the common man?" he tweeted.

In another tweet, Kumaraswamy said that "Billionaire scamsters like Vijay Mallya, Mehul Choksy, Sanjay Junjunwala seem to be very dear to this government".

"Na khaunga, na khane dunga" is yet another jumla unraveled. Billionaire scamsters like Vijay Malya, Mehul Choksy, Sanjay Junjunwala seem to be very dear to this government. The poor are dying by the roadside, farmers are desperate, the middle class is faced with economic doom.

The government has done little to help. But it writes off loans of those who are facing charges of fraud! What patriotism! What nationalism!" he tweeted.
