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.

Bengaluru, Feb 23: Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers DV Sadananda Gowda on Sunday said that several "anti-national organisations" were misusing the platform of anti-CAA protests.

"We have taken serious note of it and have started an investigation. Several anti-national organisations are misusing the platform of anti-CAA protests and many people are trying to take political advantage of this situation," he told the media on Sunday.

Gowda said that the government is "very serious" about the issue. "We are already working towards this. Both the state and Centre are together investigating into this," he said and added, "We will ensure that we cut this and will not allow this to grow. We will investigate the organisers of the event as well."

"If you are inviting such people (alleged anti-national elements), it means that you either know about it or that you are indirectly encouraging such things. In such situations, the organisers too will be acted upon," he stressed.
