Udupi, Jun 24: Former chief minister and Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa has demanded the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to drop Minister for Forests and Environment B Ramanath Rai for directing a Superintendent of Police of Dakshina Kannada to arrest RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat if the latter attempted to disrupt peace in the society.

Addressing presspersons here on Friday, Mr. Yeddyurappa said Mr. Bhat was a sincere person and any attempt to arrest him without rhyme or reason would be illegal. Mr. Rai was indulging in such acts because he wanted to appease a particular community, he said.

Mr. Yeddyurappa said that Mr. Siddaramaiah had not followed protocol by not accompanying President Pranab Mukherjee during the latter’s visit to Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple on June 18. This despite the fact that Vishvesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Mutt had requested him to visit the temple.

Mr. Yeddyurappa said that he had allocated Rs. 40 crore to develop Kaginele, the birthplace of Kanakadasa, during his tenure as Chief Minister.

The government had woken up late to the problem of farm loan waiver. A large number of farmers had committed suicide in the State and nearly 25% had repaid their loans in the last four to five months. The State government should bring farmers who had repaid loans under the ambit of the waiver.

The State government had not been able to solve the sand extraction problem in the Coastal districts. Though the Union government was giving priority to the construction of national highways, the lack of sand had affected its development and also the progress of other developmental projects.

There was lot of corruption in the implementation of various works of State government.

The State government should stop accusing the Union government of step-motherly treatment. The Centre had been releasing funds to the State regularly for all Centrally-sponsored schemes, Mr. Yeddyurappa said.

Bengaluru/Ballari, Jan 7: Former minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan of the Congress set a one-week deadline for the BJP government on Monday to arrest Ballari City BJP legislator G Somashekhara Reddy for his recent speech warning Muslims of dire consequences if they continue to protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

Police have already booked Reddy, younger brother of tainted mining baron G Janardhan Reddy, under section 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion) of the Indian Penal Code.

However, Khan took the fight to Reddy a step further. “If the government fails to arrest Reddy by January 13, I will stage a dharna outside his house in Ballari, come what may. Let them do whatever they want,” Khan told reporters in Bengaluru.

In his speech at a pro-CAA rally organized by BJP workers and ABVP activists in Ballari, the BJP legislator had said, “We [Hindus] are 83% and they [Muslims] are 17% and if we take law into hands, you know what will happen.”

Khan said on Monday, “I challenge Reddy, the coward, to unsheathe his sword and cut me down first. It is absolutely shameful for a legislator to speak such things against a particular community. Why is Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who often says Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, silent?”

On his part, Reddy on Monday said he stood by what he said. “What I meant was you Muslims should not get swayed by CAA protests and damage public property. We [Hindus] are sons of the same mother and live peacefully. However, they [Muslims] should not test our [Hindu] patience. I stick by my words 100%,” he said.

A delegation of the Ballari district Congress unit also submitted an appeal to the deputy commissioner, inspector general of police and superintendent of police on Monday to arrest Reddy for his provocative speech.
