Will ensure that BJP wins all 28 seats of Karnataka in 2019 Lok Sabha polls: BSY

Bengaluru, May 19: In an emotional speech before stepping down as chief minister, BS Yeddyurappa on Saturday accused the Congress-JD(S) combine of forming an 'opportunistic' alliance and said the popular mandate had been subverted due to their 'conspiracy.'

Yeddyurappa,who announced his decision without facing the trust vote after not being able to rustle up the numbers, charged that the JD(S)-combine had kept the MLAs in captivity.

"You kept MLAs in captivity. The situation of those MLAs was so pitiable that they could not speak to their families on phone," he said in his speech after moving the motion of confidence to face the trial of strength.

Taunting Congress and JD(S), a glum looking Yeddyurappa said "today the family members may be a bit happy as they are seeing them (MLAs)."

Yeddyurappa admitted he had expected opposition MLAs to cross vote. To realize the public mandate and with development in mind, he said he asked members for the vote of conscience.

"It is true that I had spoken to a few of them (in the opposition)," Yeddyurppa said.

Stating that BJP believes in the democratic system, he said he had expected MLAs 'on the other side' would understand that in today's political situation, things would change if his government came to power, when the Narendra Modi government is at the Centre. "Some people had agreed to cooperate," he said.

He however added, "who am I to question in politics? Expectation is different, there may be differences."

Governor Vajubhai Vala had given a 15-day window to Yeddyurappa, but it was truncated by the Supreme Court, which ordered that the floor test be held within a day itself.

Yeddyurappa said the Congress did not get people's mandate, nor did the JD(S).

He said those who traded charges and counter charges, after being defeated in the hustings, were indulging in 'opportunistic politics' against the people's mandate and had come to an understanding.

The governor had invited the BJP as it had emerged as the single largest party, Yeddyurappa said.

"I feel today it is like agni pareekshe (trial by fire). It is not the first time. All my life it has been agni pareekshe," he said, tracing the journey of the BJP when it had only two members and the present state it had reached.

"If people of the state had thought for a second and had given us 113 seats, the picture of this state would have changed, and the picture of development would have changed. But God's will was different" he said on a philosphical note.

Assuring people that 'till his last breath' he will travel across Karnataka, BSY said he would explain the developments and ensure that the party wins all 28 seats of the state in the Lok Sabha elections next year and "give it as a gift to Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

To Kumaraswamy, he said "I have come through struggle. Someone said if you don't give me power I will end my life ... I won't say that. Whether I get power or not, I will give my life for the people."

Yeddyurappa said he is indebted to people who have shown him love. "Due to our Congress's friends conspiracy, the public mandate and democratic system has been subverted," he said.

"In the wake of this, I'm not pressing this motion of confidence, and I will resign. I will go to people against this politics of anti democracy and seek justice. I will directly go to the governor and submit my resignation as chief minister," he said.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: As the stage is set for the ground-breaking ceremony for Ram temple construction at Ayodhya on Wednesday, retired Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde has called for the promotion of religious harmony and peaceful coexistence and respect for different faiths.

"It is a good idea to make that as an object of the temple so that there can be peace in the world," the former Solicitor General of India said when asked if the temple should be promoted as a symbol of national integration, and social and communal harmony.

Hegde said one of the most dangerous things for conflict today is religion. "In that background, there should be some effort from somebody or other to bring about peaceful coexistence, respecting each religion," the former Karnataka Lokayukta told PTI on Tuesday. "It is a good idea to start Bhumi Pujan as an indicator of that or foundation for developing harmony among various religions," he added.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5- acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.

Mangaluru, Feb 13: After pro-Kannada outfits called for a state-wide bandh today, the police are on high-alert to avoid any untoward incidents.

The dawn to dusk bandh was called demanding implementation of Sarojini Mahishi report which recommended certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in private & public sector companies.

There is no official holiday declared for schools and colleges. Besides, all government institutions and private establishments are open.

But, in some parts of Karnataka, autorickshaws and taxis, including Ola and Uber stayed off the roads.

Even though the bandh is unlikely to hit normal life in coastal Karnataka, stones were pelted on a Tirupati-Mangaluru bus in Farangipet.
