Hassan, Nov 8: A fresh ‘Operation Lotus’ attempt by Karnataka state unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has come to light with Sringeri MLA T D Raje Gowda revealing that BJP leaders had contacted him with an offer to join their party.

The first-time Congress MLA told reporters here that BJP State president and former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa had contacted him through his relatives and a BJP leader, who had contested for the Sakleshpur seat on the party ticket.

“They had offered me Rs. 50 crore along with a ministerial berth to join the BJP. They also offered Rs. 100 crore, if I was ready to give up a ministerial berth. They had contacted me about three months ago,” he said.

Mr. Gowda said he was a committed worker of the Congress and would not leave the party no matter what.

“I have come into politics with certain principles. I won this time because of the hard work of our workers. I have not thought of quitting the party,” he said.

The MLA felt that in the wake of the results of the bypolls, the BJP might stop the efforts to lure MLAs. He was here to visit Hasanamba temple.

True. He might be lied in case of this amount. BJP offered less and he may just increased amount for boasting.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: On Wednesday morning starlet and Bigg Boss 3 contestant Jayashree Ramaiah sent social media into a tizzy with an update that read, “I quit. Goodbye to this f*****g world and depression.” Friends and acquaintances immediately began reaching out to the actor asking her to return their concerned calls and desist from taking any extreme steps.

“Jayashree has been battling depression for a while now. She had family issues and was also concerned about the lack of work,” shares actor Ashvithi Shetty. The Ramachari twins were in touch with Jayashree since they met at a celebrity cricket match four years ago. “She has shared several times about how low she’s been and I would try to cheer her up. But the problem was that she’d keep changing her phone number so often that it became difficult to keep track of how she was doing,” states Ashvithi.

Around four months ago, Jayashree moved into her own home and mentioned to her that she was happy with this new development in her life. “But she went retreated again and a few days ago, I messaged her on social media and she said she was doing fine. So I was shocked to see this update on Wednesday morning,” avers the actor. Repeated calls finally elicited a message from Jayashree that she was getting admitted to the hospital. “But I also got contradictory information that she had been discharged and had been taken to the hospital again but she was refusing to go inside. I am awaiting more clarity on the issue,” sums up Ashvithi.
