Udupi, Apr 14: Former DySP Anupama Shenoy, who floated Bharatiya Janshakthi Congress last year, has confirmed that he would contest the May 12 assembly polls from Udupi’s Kaup Assembly constituency.

Addressing media persons, Shenoy said that though she was not totally against incumbent Kaup MLA Vinay Kumar Sorake, she was disappointed by his lukewarm response to most of the burning issues. “I am confident of winning from Kaup,” she said.

Condemning the privatisation of the district maternity and children hospital, she said that a close nexus between the BRS ventures and Congress government has paved the way for well-planned strategies in handing over the hospital.

She said that she has approached the court over the watch that was worn by the chief minister as it was gifted by Dr Girish Chandra, a close associate of B R Shetty. "Added to the woes, B R Shetty has a criminal background as a case against him is pending in the court," she said.

Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has denotified some 11.25 acres of land in the name of B R Shetty in Rampura village. Moreover, around 2.30 acres of land has been sold to Shetty for 3.75 crores as against the market value of Rs 54.45 crore, she added.

She said she would be now concentrating on Chikkamagaluru, Uttar Kannada, Kodagu and Dakshina Kannada and other districts. She added that the Election Commission has offered ladyfinger as the symbol for her party.

“I launched a new party with an aim to incorporate the new force. The only criterion for the candidates is that he or she should not have a criminal background and should be familiar with the Kannada language,” she said.

No clear directions from central leaders: DK Shivakumar

News Network

March 11,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 11: Did Congress party’s Man Friday, DK Shivakumar, not rise up to the occasion and save the situation for the party, whose rebel MLAs were flown into Bengaluru to unsettle the Kamal Nath-led government in Madhya Pradesh? Shivakumar told The New Indian Express on Tuesday, “So far, I have not got any clear direction on what has to be done. But I am in touch with the central leaders. The party does not want to antagonise them... They are our own MLAs.”

He said that the Tenth Schedule, which makes defections illegal, is very strong. “It is not so easy for them once they are expelled. There are courts and then they have to get re-elected. It is not easy to get minister’s post after getting re-elected,” he added.

When pointed out that rebels from the Congress and JD(S) who joined the BJP have got re-elected and become ministers, he said, “There are other issues here.”

Asked about Digvijay Singh, who is at the centre of the controversy in MP and who was AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka, not being able to prevent the rebellion in his home state, Shivakumar said, “I do not want to comment on any of our national leaders.”But he was confident that the Congress government would be saved in MP. “I am aware of the developments and keeping track of them,” he said.

Congress leaders seemed wiser after the event.

One of them, who wished not to be identified, said the party clearly did not see the writing on the wall. “Jyotiraditya Scindia supported the BJP at the Centre when it scrapped Article 370. Later too he was not in line with the Congress position on several issues. But during the recent Delhi violence, he criticised the BJP, sending confusing signals,” he added.
