Cong-JD(S) won by distributing liquor and money: BSY over BJP’s bypoll debacle

Bengaluru, Nov 6: Opposition Leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and BJP State President B S Yeddyurappa today said that the party’s win in Shivamogga Lok Sabha was overwhelming, but the party will examine the defeats in its stronghold Ballari parliamentary seat.

Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, he claimed that the Congresss-JD(S) Coalition Government has misused the official machinery and indulged in distribution of liquor and money. 

‘’It is true that it would have been extremely satisfying had won Ballari Lok Sabha and Jamakhandi Assembly seats. But in Shivamogga too, we had expected a huge margin. However, our victory in there with BJP winning by a margin of over 52,000 votes is really impressive given the fact that we fought the might of the joint force of both the Congress and the JDS besides shameless misuse of official machinery,’’ Mr Yeddyurappa said.

The BJP leader said the party’s performance of polling 2.44 lakh votes in the traditional weak region of Mandya was heartening. This will enable us to strengthen the party further socially and geographically in the coming days.

‘’Congress and JDS are the past-masters in the art of con game and plotting. They have proved this in the just-concluded by-elections. The Undemocratic attitude of the JDS was further proved by in Ramanagara. We will exercise caution over the conspiracy of the Congress and JDS. We will not sit silent over this partial success of our party. We have lost only Ballari. We will introspect the results of Ballari and move ahead,’’ Mr Yeddyurappa warned.

He said BJP was confident of winning maximum seats, above 17 won in 2014 election. ‘’ We are confident that the 2019 Lok Sabha elections will be completely ours. The remarkable performance of the BJP government at the Centre under the dynamic and visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will enable us to romp home to victory in maximum number of Lok Sabha seats. We are confident of winning 22 to 23 parliamentary seats’’.

Mr Yeddyurappa said he would undertake the tour of the entire State to strengthen the party cadre at the grass-root level. At the same time, the BJP will place before the people the lust for power of the coalition government. BJP has proved that it has the strength to face the combined force of the Congress and JDS.

‘’ We will prove it again in the coming days. The Karnataka High Court has castigated the coalition government on the issue of transfer of officials. This is sufficient to showcase the style and substance of governance of the Congress-JDS coalition regime,’’ he added in a statement issued here on Tuesday.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Tuesday criticised BJP-led Karnataka government for limiting or omitting various topics including chapters on 18th century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali.

Speaking to media here at Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) office, Shivakumar said Congress will not allow BJP government in Karnataka to "divert history".

"Tipu Sultan does not belong to one caste or a class. He is part of the history of this country. BJP government has removed chapters related to him for its political advantage. It is their decision whether they celebrate Tipu Sultan Jayanti or not, but he is part of our history. 

The President of this country Ramnath Kovind came to the Vidhan Sabha and praised Tipu's patriotism during a joint session," Shivakumar said.

"The BJP government has come to power today. Our history should not change. We will not let these people to covert or dilute history. This is the stand of the Congress party. Our experts will study the pros and cons of this decision," he added.

Shivakumar further said many countries around the world have praised the Constitution, Indian history and expressed their willingness to "adapt it".

"But the BJP is trying to curtail this. We need to educate our children. Our team will also study this and we will not let this happen," he said.
The Karnataka government, in a bid to reduce the syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent, has limited or omitted various topics including chapters on Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 social science textbook.

The reduction in syllabus comes as schools are closed to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the state, and classes have been moved online.
The Department of Public Instruction of the Karnataka government also limited or removed various other topics from the syllabus of class 6 to 10 as they were repeated or can be alternatively taught.

Earlier, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had revised the syllabus for the classes IX to XII for the academic session 2020-21 in a "one-time measure" owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What benefit govt is giving us so that we can transfer the same goodness to our workers? Or are the funds only to buy and sell MLA?

Bengaluru, Jun 26: All efforts would be made to control the spread of coronavirus in the city and there will be no fresh lockdown, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Friday said, asserting that improving economic situation of the state is also equally important.

Though the state capital was considered a model for the entire country in COVID management and has seen a spike in cases during the last few days, the pandemic can be controlled if everyone cooperated, he said.

His remarks come a day after Revenue Minister R Ashoka said Bengaluru is still 'safe' compared to the COVID-19 situation in other cities and states and had ruled out a fresh lockdown for now, putting to rest speculations that it was planning such a move in view of spike in cases.

As of Thursday evening, a total of 1,791 COVID-19 cases, including 78 deaths and 505 discharges, had been reported in the city while the state's tally stood at 10,560 compared to just 3,408 cases as on June 1. The state capital has the highest number of cases among the districts.

"There is no question of imposing lockdown for any reason. In some areas (with high case load) we have already implemented lockdown, other than those places there is no question of it being implemented in other places," Yediyurappa told reporters here.

Improving the economic situation of the state was also equally important, he said ahead of his meeting with Ministers, MLAs and MPs of all parties from Bengaluru to discuss measures to control COVID-19.

"I will discuss with all MLAs including those from opposition and Ministers from Bengaluru and come to some decision. With their cooperation we will make all honest efforts to control the pandemic in Bengaluru," he added.

Earlier, there had been intense speculation after some ministers said the government may have to consider re-imposing the lockdown, eased in phases from the middle of last month, in view of continuing spike in new cases in the past several days. Bengaluru was a "model" to the entire country in COVID management, but in recent days cases have increased, Yediyurappa said, adding to control it cooperation from everyone was necessary.

"I have confidence that if everyone (MLAs) pays special attention in their respective assembly constituency, COVID can be controlled," he said. Meanwhile, official sources said the Chief Minister has given Revenue Minister Ashoka the charge of overseeing the COVID management in the city.
