Bengaluru, Mar 22: In an interesting development in Karnataka politics, A S Patil Nadahalli, a rebel Congress MLA from Devarahippargi, who had found place in the list of Janata Dal (Secular) candidates for Karnataka Assembly polls 2018, has embraced Baratiya Janata Party.

The three time MLA from Devarahippargi in Vijayapura district, Nadahalli admitted that the prime reason for dissociating himself from JD(S) was that the regional party did not consider his wife, Mahadevi, for an assembly ticket. “When father and son, younger and older brothers can contest from JD(S), why cannot my wife and me both contest?” questioned Nadahalli.

The rebel Congress MLA, who was dismissed from the ruling party for “anti-party” activities by publicly joining and pledging his loyalty to JD(S) till about a month ago, admitted that he had vacated the seat from where he had won thrice for the JD(S) president H D Kumaraswamy to contest.

Nadahalli’s name had figured on the first list of candidates announced by the JD(S) for the Assembly elections. He was supposed to contest on the JD(S) ticket from Muddebihal constituency.

However, on Wednesday he crossed the floors again and joined the BJP in the presence of its State president B S Yeddyurappa in Bengaluru. The former MLA for Madhugiri Ganga Hanumaiah too joined the BJP on the occasion.

According to sources, the BJP is likely to field him as its candidate. Nadahalli had hit the headlines after he took on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah as a ruling party member.

Nadahalli, however, said he has not been promised any tickets for him and his wife by the BJP. “I have joined BJP with an open mind and there has been no assurances from the party with regard to assembly tickets to me and my wife. I will work as per the wishes of the party leadership,” he said.

Shameless and power hungry person joining a party having same strategy.  I request voters to shit on his face and dont give a single vote.  He has no manners and sold himself for money.  People like him change their trust based on situation and look for their own benefit.

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

Wah what a joke.

RSS is blamming others as terrorists.

 

Constitutionof RSS is a terrorism.  Stupid Hegevar and Savarkar are the heroes of illiterate stupid community.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

 

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

 

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first.    There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI.    BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations.    BJP is doing propoganda only.   Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis.   We should ban them first.
