Yeddyurappa warns of action against dissidents

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Facing intensifying discontent in the party over his style of functioning, BJP Karnataka unit President B S Yeddyurappa today sought to quell it with a warning against "anti-party" activities by anyone, "however big they are".

YeddyurappaThe appointment of office-bearers and presidents of district units has triggered discontent against Yeddyurappa, with several party functionaries under the leadership of former Deputy Chief Minister K S Eshwarappa openly questioning his "unilateral" decisions.

They are demanding a rollback of appointments, stating that it was not discussed in the core committee (the highest decision-making body), but Yeddyurappa has refused to yield.

Stiffening his stand, Yeddyurappa while speaking at the party's state office bearers meeting here said without naming anyone, that those involved in anti-party activities, "however big they are", would not be tolerated.

"Anti-party activities will not be tolerated. For this purpose, I will be announcing a disciplinary committee."

"Anyone, however big they are or whatever the reason may be, if they involve in any anti-party activities will not be pardoned. If you have any problem, come let us sit together and discuss it. Instead of that if statements are issued it will create confusion," he added.

Eshwarappa skipped today's meeting, attended by party's state in-charge P Muralidhara Rao, Union Ministers Ananth Kumar, Sadananda Gowda and Siddeshwara, besides former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Jagadish Shettar.

Blaming the media for glorifying "small issues" within the party, Yeddyurappa said "when there is infighting within Congress and JD(S), we will have to work together."

"We have a responsibility on us, so we have to be together and cooperate," he added.

Eshwarappa has held a series of meetings of like-minded leaders in the last couple of days, during which criticism was expressed over Yeddyurappa's style of functioning, the "high handedness" of his loyalists in party affairs and prominence given to those in his erstwhile outfit Karnataka Janata Party (KJP).

After one such meeting yesterday, Eshwarappa said his intention was to protect the interests of loyal party workers 'who are in pain' and safeguard the system that has been in place for long.

"Let Yeddyurappa say that he has made appointments after discussing with state core committee, I will surrender today itself," he said.

Yeddyurappa was forced to resign as chief minister in 2011 over graft charges, following which he quit the party to form KJP. He returned to BJP following the announcement of Narendra Modi as party's prime ministerial candidate ahead of 2014 Lok Sabha polls and was recently appointed state party chief.

Kalaburagi, Feb 20: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Waris Pathan on Wednesday said that 15 crore Muslims can dominate 100 crore Hindus.

"The time has now come for us to unite and achieve freedom. Remember we are 15 crore but can dominate over 100 crores," said Pathan while addressing an anti-CAA rally here.

"They tell us that we have kept our women in the front - only the lionesses have come out and you are already sweating. You can understand what would happen if all of us come together," he said.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Protests have erupted across the country against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the National Population Register (NPR).
