Udupi, Jun 7: Anupama Shenoy, the Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi sub-division in Ballari district, whose sudden resignation attracted the attention of media and opposition parties, may change her decision if the state government transferred her to Mangaluru, according to her family.

anuAnupama is the eldest among the three children of Radhakrishna Shenoy and Nalini Shenoy, who hail from Ucchila near Bada village of Udupi district. The Shenoys have been running a small tea canteen at Ucchila for the last 40 years.

“If my daughter is transferred to Mangaluru, she may withdraw her resignation,” said Radhakrishna, who accuses both her seniors in the police department and the elected representatives of not supporting her.

Recalling how he took great pains to educate his daughter, Radhakrishna said: “Had I known that she would be tortured so much, I wouldn't have had to provide for her higher education.”

“I ran a canteen to fund her education... She is staying away from the family for the time being,” he said.

It could be recalled here that when a group of people staged protest against her last Saturday, the DySP rushed into her chamber, wrote out her resignation letter and handed it over to an inspector.

As per protocol, Anupama should have submitted her resignation to Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ballari Range through the Superintendent of Police, Ballari, but instead, handed it over to her junior officer, circle police inspector Nagappa Bankali.

BJP, JD(S) seize opportunity

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (Secular) have utilised the fresh development to target Chief Minister Siddramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka.

Union Minister Ananth Kumar charged the CM with behaving irresponsibly in connection with the resignation of a s woman police officer.

“Does a higher police official have no relationship with the state government? What was the intelligence bureau doing if the chief minister had no information about the developments which led to Anupama's resignation? Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G?Parameshwara are showing a dictatorial and adamant attitude to hide their failures,” Ananthkumar told reporters here on Monday.

The police system is under pressure due to the cold war between Siddaramaiah and Parameshwara, he added.

Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Jagadish?Shettar said the Congress government was discouraging honest officials and was protecting the corrupt.

“We have information that harassment of Anupama Shenoy continued even after she was re-posted to Kudligi, after the incident of putting Minister P?T?Parameshwar Naik's call on hold, and public outcry over her transfer to Indi. Her resignation is an indication of what other officers are facing. The chief minister, home minister or DGP should talk to her on the real reason for her resignation. Otherwise, other officials will also be demoralised,” Shettar said.

JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy said Anupama shouldn't have resigned and sought transfer instead. He praised her for taking on the labour minister and cracking down on illegalities in Ballari. “Her resignation clearly shows there is no protection for officials under this government,” he said.

Bengaluru, Feb 29: A Lingayat seer on Friday threatened to get 10 BJP MLAs to quit if Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa does not make MLA Dattatreya Patil Revoor a minister soon.

"If Yediyurappa does not make BJP's Gulbarga South MLA Dattatreya Patil Revoor a minister, I will get 10 ruling party legislators resign and reduce the government to a minority, forcing the Chief Minister to resign," said Srishaila Saranga mutt seer Deshikendra Swami at a meeting in Kalaburagi on Friday.

Addressing a gathering of the Lingayat community, to which Revoor belongs, the seer said although he wanted Yediyurappa to complete the remaining 3-year term in office and the BJP to return to power after the next elections, it would be difficult for Yediyurappa to continue if Revoor is not made a minister.

"Yediyurappa will be in office for the next three years if he makes Revoor minister. If not, I will ask him (latter) also to resign, as does not need to be in politics anymore because he has a house, many acres of agricultural land and is very rich," the seer told the gathering in Kannada.

In his nomination to contest in the May 2018 assembly elections, Revoor (37) declared in an affidavit Rs 17-crore assets, including immovable properties.

Wishing Yediyurappa to remain in office for the next three years and return as Chief Minister, the seer said if Yediyurappa is forced to quit, then the Lingayat community would not get an opportunity to have its leader as Chief Minister again for at least 30 years.

Yediyurappa, whose constituency is Shikaripura in Shivamogga district, is considered the tallest Lingayat leader of the politically powerful community, which accounts for 18% of the 6.5-crore state's population.

Though a dozen BJP legislators won from the erstwhile Hyderabad-Karnataka region in the May 2018 Assembly elections, only Prabhu Chauhan from the adjacent Bidar district was made minister for animal husbandry.

The Saranga mutt seer’s threat comes a month after Veerashaiva Lingayat Panchamasali seer Swami Vachananda, dared Yediyurappa to make 3 of the community legislators ministers ahead of the second cabinet expansion on February 6.

At a Lingayat gathering in the state's Davengere district on January 15, Vachananda told Yediyurappa to make party's Bilgi legislator Murgesh Nirani Minister, failing which the community would withdraw its support to the ruling party.

Hiryur is about 300km northwest of the southern state's capital Bengaluru.

Ticking off the young seer, a defiant Yediyurappa, however, threatened to walk out of the meeting if he was blackmailed for making Lingayat MLAs ministers.

"You cannot threaten me saying your sub-sect (Veera Shaiva) community would not support the BJP in the next assembly or Lok Saba elections, due in 2023 and 2024," retorted Yediyurappa, reasserting his status as the community's strongman in the state.

In the second cabinet expansion, only 10 newly elected legislators who defected from the Congress and the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) were made ministers, leaving 6 posts vacant in the 34-member ministry.

In the first cabinet expansion on August 20, 2019, 17 party legislators were made ministers. Nirani and others, who were present on the dais, pacified Yediyurappa to take his seat and requested the seer to avoid making political speech on such occasions.

"The chief minister threatened to resign than succumb to pressures from religious or community followers," a party official told media.
