Yeddyurappa out at CM over quota promise

Bengaluru, Oct 8: BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa on Saturday accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of trying to mislead SCs, STs, and other backward classes on increasing reservation in employment and education to 70% ahead of the Assembly election.

Addressing the executive committee meeting of BJP OBC wing, he said the fact that the chief minister has promised to increase the reservation a few months before the election proves that he is not serious about it. He should have done it soon after coming to power if he had any concern for these communities, he added.

Siddaramaiah has been making a lot of promises to people with an eye on the elections. None of the government schemes has been implemented properly. The only achievement of the government in the last four years is looting the state exchequer and corruption, he charged.

Bengaluru, May 31: In spite of opposition, chief minister BS Yediyurappa has appointed his former personal assistant and maternal grandnephew NR Santosh as his political secretary.

Santosh is the fourth political secretary to the CM besides SR Vishwanath, MP Renukacharya and Shankaranna Munavalli. 

Santosh was arrested for allegedly trying to kidnap Vinay NS, personal assistant of BJP leader KS Eshwarappa in 2017. He's also facing attempt to murder and dowry harassment charges.

The 30-year-old had fallen out with the CM's younger son BY Vijayendra soon after the BJP came to power and had been reportedly asked to keep away from him. He had identified with some MLAs who were up against the CM.

It's said the appointment was made to send out a message to the rivals after some MLAs launched a renewed campaign against Yediyurappa over a dinner meeting at BJP MLA Umesh V Katti's house. 

Though Yediyurappa was not keen, sources said Santosh brought pressure from RSS and some BJP leaders, whose help he had sought to reunite with the family. 

Santosh from Tumakuru is the son of the CM's sister's daughter. He was Yediyurappa's Man Friday and his job was confined to ensuring he took his medicines on time.
