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.

First VBM flight from Bahrain to Mangaluru brings home 170 stranded expats

July 13,2020

Mangaluru, Jul 13: Air India Express flight brought around 170 passengers from Bahrain to Mangaluru under Vande Bharat Mission yesterday.

This is the first VBM flight from Bahrain to Mangaluru. The flight took off from Bahrain at 10 am on Sunday and landed at Mangaluru International airport at 4.45 pm.

Even though thousands of Indian expatriates from other gulf countries were brought to Mangaluru in past few weeks, no flight was arranged from Bahrain so far. Hence, several Mangalureans including senior citizens, women and patients were stranded in Bahrain for months together.

Local entrepreneur and president of Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Mohammed Mansoor, who saw the plight of the hapless Indian expatriates in Bahrain had discussions with the Indian embassy in Bahrain and convinced it to arrange a special Air India Express flight under the Vande Bharat Mission.

IOC, along with the cooperation of ‘KHK Heroes’ had arranged meal kits for passengers during their flight to Mangaluru. IOC had also contacted all the Mangaluru-based NRIs who wanted to fly back to India and made a list with the help of Indian embassy to avoid any untoward incidents.

IOC had also given details of hotels to be quarantined in Mangaluru and Udupi, names of nodal officers to be contacted and emergency telephone numbers. The passengers were given a warm farewell by the office bearers of IOC from Bahrain international airport.

The effort taken by Mohammed Mansoor, president of IOC is lauded by all. All the passengers who travelled by the flight have thanked IOC and its office bearers whole heartedly.
