Bengaluru, Feb 22: Union Law Minister D V Sadananada Gowda on Sunday said that the BJP would launch a legal fight against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on the issue of his wearing an expensive wrist watch.

sadananda“State BJP president Pralhad Joshi lodging a complaint with the Enforcement Directorate is a step in this direction. The party will ensure that the issue reaches a logical conclusion. The chief minister should have come clean on the issue, but has been trying to hide all the information,” he said.

JD(S) State president H D Kumaraswamy, who raised the issue, should have taken it to the logical end. But it appears that he may not pursue the issue in the wake of the Congress leader disclosing information about expensive cars and watches that he owns, Gowda said.

Bike rally

The Union minister was speaking to reporters after taking part in a bike rally organised at Hebbal to express gratitude to the electorate for voting in favour of the BJP in the recent byelection.

On the Opposition parties accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being silent on the JNU issue, Gowda said it was not appropriate to comment on anything at this juncture as the investigation was going on.

The judiciary has been looking into the issue and it is not proper for the government to comment on it, he said.

Gowda said the State BJP core committee meeting convened by party national president Amit Shah on February 23 in Delhi was likely to discuss the appointment of a new State president and organisation of the party in the State in the coming days.

“No agenda has been set for the meeting. But the appointment of the new president is likely to be discussed,” he added.

Time not ticking for me: Siddu

Chief Minister said Siddaramaiah said on Sunday that it was a figment of one's imagination to think that the controversy surrounding the watch he wears would lead to his ouster from the post, reports DHNS from Chitradurga.

He told reporters in the city that he had no personal grudge against former chief minister Yeddyurappa. Cases against him would be handled as per law, the chief minister said. At the same time, Siddaramaiah said that he need not be afraid of Yeddyurappa.

Bengaluru, July 29: The Central Crime Branch arrested four international drug peddlers belonging to Kerala and recovered drugs worth Rs 1.25 crore from them, said Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday.

"We have started a war on drugs. Our agenda is to curb the drug mafia not only in Bengaluru, but in entire Karnataka. Many people are involved in the drug mafia. They are targeting students, other states, and international students who can spend and afford to become victims," said Bommai.

The recovered items include 2,000 kg LSD strips, 110 grams MDMA Cristol, 10 ecstasy tablets, 5 kg Ganja, five cell phones, weighing machine and pouches.

"When we raided a house in Soladevanahally police station area, we arrested Shahad Mohammed, Azmal, Ajin KG Verghese and Nitin Mohan. All are from Kerala and we will arrest their contacts as well. They are involved in the dark web mafia," Bommai said.

He said the peddlers were using post offices and couriers for their business.

"I'll speak to the central government, the home ministry and postal department, and other issues related to this mafia. Canada, Netherlands, and other nations are also involved in this mafia," said the state home minister.

"People from influential backgrounds are also involved in this mafia, but our objective is zero tolerance. We are using our intelligence. Drugs are coming from other states like AP, Goa, and other states," he said.
Bommai said he was personally addressing this case and appealed for support from parents, schools and colleges.

"I'm addressing this issue personally because it's important to curb the drug mafia. I need support from schools and college managements and parents. I'll also call college and hostel managements before colleges start. We will make managements responsible," he said.
