Yeddyurappa’s close aide quits as BJP BC Morcha chief

Bengaluru, Jun 19: Upset with party for not making him an MLC, former minister B J Puttaswamy resigned as the president of state BJP Backward Classes Morcha.

In his letter to party state president B S Yeddyurappa, he has claimed that despite discharging his duties earnestly, the party had not considered him for the MLC post.

He has also expressed his anguish over being sidelined by Yeddyurappa, despite his loyalty to him and the party.

Puttaswamy, who was an MLC, completed his term on June 17. He was hoping to be re-nominated to the Upper House, and had even expressed his desire to Yeddyurappa. “Unmindful of my own plight, I have strongly defended you before the media and the people every time there were charges against you. I continued to be loyal to the party, despite facing death threats and raids on me.

I hope you will realise that nobody stood by you like me, during your times of trouble. I also had to forsake my ministership for no fault of mine. In addition to organising rallies and working for the welfare of the backward classes, I also worked hard as a star campaigner during polls. I don’t know why I wasn’t made the MLC, despite me expressing my desire,” Puttaswamy has said in his three-page letter to Yeddyurappa.

Shantanu Gupta’s book on BJP to become part of curriculum in Indonesia’s Islamic University

News Network

February 24,2020

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.

Stupidity of faculty.

They should know the reaction of Malaysians to BJP's attrocities.

When Malaysia outright knows BJP's agenda, they reacted.

This decission of Indonesian faculty shows clear stupidity and his mental stability.

God give wisdom to Indonesians
